The SSR's are newer, they come in a wider variety of sizes, they are quieter on pavement, they offer better traction on wet roads but offroad they are really similar to the older radial Swampers. I have the old style ones and I love them. They aren't wearing out that fast and I have a loud exhaust, so loud tires don't bother me, AND they're alot cheaper.

thats what I'm curious about.. the tire ware, and the handleing capability..
I tow a boat and need something that will hang and not throw me all over hell... I want the BIG look of the TSL but will sacrificing the 2 inches of width be worth it for an all around driver...... I want 37 to 38's, so height would'nt make too much of a diff.. . but skinny tires... I don't know about..

I'm curious about this comparison too. I just want 33x12.50R15's The SSR's I've heard are great(the COK5 review as well as many on OR.COM and in several magazines) but they cost a fair ammount more than the TSL radials. I haven't heard much on the TSL radials, but they are swampers, so they gotta be good right?

better than BFG m/t's at least?

Well it depend's on how much you drive on the pavement??

These are on my rig now,and they still look good! They are quite on the pavement. They are more $$$ than the TSL's but they do last about another year..
