I wouldn't run them on the street. They are a soft tire built for off roading and won't last long on the street.

I did alot of searching... and I think I am the only one that visits this site that runs them.

I have less than 1000 miles on them... so I can't comment on wear. But, They do seem to have better road manners than most other SuperSwampers I have dealt with.

Because Mine are radials they have better road manners than the Bias versions.

I was very hesitant about going with them on my truck... but i went for it because they were less money than anything else and everything else was hard to find. I decided that for the money they would be worth it to me even if they only lasted 10,000 miles. But, I hope to get more out of them.

I think you have already seen the photos of my truck. But here is one again.

I'd love to see how many miles you get out of them. I'd really like to go with Irok 36x13.50x20!

The Iroks are so much cheaper that even if they don't get a ton of miles they still wont be a bad deal. Plus they will outperform most other tires off road.

Ive run swampers on my trail truck, and I agree, there is no better when it comes to off road tires.

I know most swampers suck on the road, but the Iroks are so new there is not so many reviews on them. Plus they look killer. How loud are they on the road?

Another less agressive option I ran accross today at work was the 275/65-20 Goodyear ATS, LR-E, the OE Super Duty Harley tire. It measures out to about 34x11 so its alittle more narrow then I wanted, but its less in cost then many of the others and has good life and road mannors.

2000F150HD, as always, your truck looks killer

That stock superduty tire sounds like a decent choice.

The Iroks arent that loud. But it is hard to explain in words what it sounds like. If you have music at a normal level you cant hear the tires. The Iroks have a higher pitch than other swampers. I think because there are more smaller lugs... Anyway... sorry i cant help more... but i say go for the swampers.

I have had my Iroks on since August 04 they have 12,000 miles on them and I should be able to get another year or so out of them. I do a mix of city and short highway driving 5 days a week.

As for them being loud well they are a mud tire and I would like to see/hear any mud tire that isn't loud. My buddy has 36" Nitto's on his and it sounds about the same. Anyone telling you thier mud tires are not loud are lying to you.

Overall for the price you cant beat the tire IMHO. I will be buying them again its a good tire and all I have ever gotten was compliments on them.

Does anyone know how much they weigh? IE: 36-13-20?

PS: Toyo Open Country M/Ts are almost silent.

Silent because they don't exist?? LOL couldn't find any to save my life...

Thump... I could weigh mine with the rims... but sadly I don't know the weight of the rims... and mine are 33's. So, probably wouldnt help much. I would imagine it is on some spec sheet somewhere?
