Re: Super Swamper tires
I run the Super Swamper SSR's (33x12.5) as a comprimise. I do a lot of highway on
them. They are loud, and hard to balance, but they work pretty well on the street
and are good off road. No great for both, but good. The set I have right now I have
had on for nearly 3.5 years, and 38K, after this next long trip I will be putting new
tires on. They are ripped up, slashed, worn, etc, but still doing fine (I have had
several folks offer to buy them). The only reason I am not going to put them on
again is that I now have a second vehicle to drive, and plan to put bias Pitbull's on
instead, since the Jeep will be mainly for offroad/pleasure use now.
If you really need a long lasting mostly road use tire, you may not want to look at
swampers. Most good off road tires are not going to do great on the road, and wont
last as long as a highway tire.

Re: Super Swamper tires
You're not going to find a tire that is great in the mud AND great on wet
pavement, you have to compromise. If you do mostly mud running you buy a mud
tire and put up with its short comings. If you need a wet pavement tire, you
buy an all terrain and keep your fingers crossed in the mud. BFG Muds do
well in the mud while the AT's are great on wet pavement and good in snow.
Goodyear MTR's do well in mud, well on rocks and fair in wet pavement and
snow. Goodyear set out to build a compromising tire.
I bought the MTR's and I don't regret it but I don't praise them in any one
category. Fact is, they were cheaper than BFG's when I got them on sale.
Decide what you want most and be prepared for some shortcomings.

Re: Super Swamper tires
Muchas gracias everyone who replied to my post. All of you confirmed what I
was thinking...the Swampers are as good as any others and that I'll be
comprimising some performance part of whatever tires I buy. Now I'm back to
square 2 in my decision. Square 1 was choosing the size...33x12.5x15.
Thanks,
Dennis

Re: Super Swamper tires
I have the BFG MTs and think they're quieter than the A/Ts I had before. A
little less grip on wet pavement, but far more grip on the rocks and in the
mud. Great tires -- when it's time for new ones, I'll be buying more of the
same.
