Welcome from New Hampshaa.
 Just my $.02 but I think Thornbirds suck. They fill up when in the mud, look like a big slick.
Some people are like Slinkies. Not really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs

Welcome to the site.  Pretty truck.
I think Thornbirds are for street trucks looking for a look.  I agree on them becoming slicks.  The tires you have on the truck are better in my opinion.
They are made by TBC Corp.  They still make Wild Country's
