I would like to see some pics of a 3rd gen with some Swamper SSRs on them. I am prolly gonna get a set, but would like to see what they look like on our trucks first. Thanks.

Those are cool looking tires but, their load rating isn't very good, they're very loud, mud cakes in the tread and because of being so soft, they wear quickly.

To each their own but, I'd recommend looking at some other brands too.

Thats funny cuz they are a 10-ply, E load rated tire and a 35" SSR has a load capacity of 3400 or 3600 pounds per tire. As for the loud factor, my buddy had them on his Cherokee and they were a lot quieter than the MTRs he has on there now. And he got almost 50,000 miles on them. I like them more than the BFG MTs because they actually have some siping on the lugs. These are my #1 tire choice. I am still thinking about the Mickey Thompson MTZ and the ProComp Xtreme MT. But they are only D rated tires.

50000 on a jeep is pretty good but you gotta remember our trucks front end weighs as much as a jeep but if they are rated at what you stated they should be a good tire..

I got about 32k on my superduty with 35x12.50s and still had tread left. I liked them much, much better than my bfg mts. the swampers were louder but other than that, they hands down did everything better than my bfgs, everything. With proper rotation I bet I could get 35k out of a set and the load rating is 3640, that is more than the factory tires so I have to assume that is more than sufficient.

Bottom line for me is that they are pricey and I do like to try differant tires. But so far they are by far my #1 choice for tires, however I would like to try a set of toyo mts and see how they compare.

Mud cakes in the tread because there soft????

tritont

better reread the sentence

Please inform me on how you got this information so I can avoid this person/place. Irok's are even softer so they don't clean out?

Have you owned a set??
SSR's clean out very well. You can also get decent mileage out of them. Yes, they make some noise going down the road, just like any other mud tire. If your looking for a quiet long-lasting tire, then get a a/t tire. Swampers aren't exactly made for street driving.

Dude!... you need to work on your comprehension... no offense intended.

I said.... their load rating isn't very good (,) they're very loud (,) mud cakes in the tread >>>("and")<<< because of being so soft, they wear quickly.

I got this info by owning a set and using them in the FL. sand and mud. IMO !... there are better tires for a 4X4. If you like them though you should buy them.

JbD

No offense taken.

First off,
before you respond to a post maybe you should check your facts a bit.
Your tires: 37" on a 20" rim, 3525 Lbs.
A 37" SSR on a 20" rim, 3700 Lbs.

Yes, I do own a set, and I will own another when these wear out. For a street driven truck that sees a bit of mud/rocks, whatever, they have excellent road manners. They even work pretty darn good in the snow. From my past experience, you can get a good bit of mileage out of them. As far as them not cleaning out, I don't know how you can say they don't. I'm not trying to bash you, were all friends here, but from looking at the pics of your truck , I don't think it has ever seen any mud. Maybe I'm wrong. I don't bash mine off of rocks or run it through tree branches, but it does see it's fair share off wheeling. I have a jeep for that. Don't be "That Guy" that says everything else sucks because you don't have it on your truck.
Cheers

Wasn't this thread started to see some pics.

That is exactly what I was going to post, but you beat me to it! Funny how so many threads where people want a simple answer/picture turns into a "don't buy that/those" thread....

Jeepin951

Yup still waiting for the pics here!
