Am I crazy for wanting TSL SX2s?

The cold asphalt in Alaska doesn’t wear tires like in the lower 48
Look at what he posted. I know he did but he'd also typed a (R) in the size.
Did you read what I posted? I said I was guessing it was a MISTAKE and he'd typed the r in the size by accident.
I’ve seen it written like that before but it’s to indicate the rim size, not that it’s a radial.
Well then I guess I'm learning something NEW today as I've never heard of that. I'm confused how this indicates the rim size? That is what the numbers are for. IE: 15" or 16.5" or 17" or 22"
R has never been used as an indicator of rim size, it's only purpose is to indicate radial.

I’ve always seen it next to the number that indicates rim size, and given its a bias ply tire never correlated it with radial.
That's new to me, I always figured it stood for rim. To clear things up, I know the tires are bias. I should have written 35x13.5x15, it was late at night when I wrote the original post.
Technically a bias ply tire would be labeled with a "b"15, 33x13.50b 15
One other code that is not common would be "d" which stood for diagonal.
Tires with no code indicate a "cross ply"

Back in November I searched everywhere trying to find SX2s in that size. Now Interco has 12 marked down after I gave up and bought another type and size? Marked down in price to boot. Damn that pisses me off. Thanks for ruining my day
I'd figured it was a mistype just wanted to clear it up for others more than anything.
I'm a big fan of the SX & SX2 tires but I can't tell you how well they'll work on snow and ice on the road. Up on the trail they ROCK.
always check the blem list................ i got 5 in the 17" version for 900$ IIRC. mighta been 1100, i got CRS.Back in November I searched everywhere trying to find SX2s in that size.

they claim they have minor cosmetic blemishes....i'll be damned if i can find um.
Of course they never have the tires I am looking for in the blem list.
I've never ran them so I can't say.
I've had the original TSL and the SX and IRock's but all bias ply. I've never tried any of them in radials. Yet
I did at the time. But I guess the trick is to keep checking it often.
