Been seeing a lot of tire posts recently. Many are asking about A/T and M/T tires and D vs E ratings (8 vs 10 ply). I like the 10 ply E rated tires because they're obviously tougher and last longer. Also a state trooper told me that road spikes won't puncture 10 ply tires - not that that is a problem or concern

Anyone running the Super Swamper TSL SSR Radials? Speciffically with 6.5" of lift. I see that they make 10plys in this size (37x12.50R17LT) load rated to 3640lbs each @ 65psi.

My stock Michelin LTX/AS LT265/70R17/E are rated for 3195lbs each @ 80psi....

Looks like the 37's will actually carry more...

How do these tires sound, track, ware, etc.?

Thanks!!!

Sound like hell and wear out even quicker.

Super Swampers belong on Rock and Mud buggies...not the highway. They have horrible wet and ice traction...

I ran a set of SSR's on my 99 with a 4.5" SJ lift. I ran the 35x12.5x16.5. They were great! I rotated religiously every 5k miles and got exceptional wear out of them. They were the 10 ply version as well. Mostly on-road highway type driving.

I was looking to get 50k miles out of them. Got the new truck listed below though. I would hands down run them again.
