I'm back w/ more tire questions
My mom's boyfriend has some Super Swamper SSR's on his Blazer w/ less than 1000 miles on them. He said he'd sell them to me for cheap. So I was was curious if you guys had any information them? Such as how they handle on rocks, mud, snow, and ice. Any information would be a great help in my decision process.
Thanks
Austin

You must rotate them regularly. The are grippy tires but that means they wear out pretty fast if you are driving on them a lot. They will be good in mud and on rocks, but they are a heavy tire.

We have switched to BFG MT (the older style) for Gravelroma last year and they were a cheap used set. I must admit that the heavy truck will cause the tires to wear much differently than your Toy but nothing like how the F350 SD 7.3 kills tires.
So I am not sure if I am much help for comparison reasons?

if these are for a daily driver, I would recommend that you look into another option. They will wear very fast, be very noisy and they dont have near the tread depth of some of the other swampers. They are the best of the swamper bunch as far as on road characteristics go, but I'd try to find something else. I've got BFG Mts on my 4runner, I am on my second set, they wear extremely well on road and handle GOOD off road. I also have some Pro Comp Xterrains on my pickup (rear spool) and they have worn extremely well for an aggressive tire, especially considering I have a rear spool.
good luck
