Super Swamper Irok Radials?

Hey guys just wanted to get some opinions on the super swamper iroks. Im planning on ordering the 33x13.5x20's. I do mostly highway/city driving. Little offroading here and there. I just love the aggressive look out of the tire. Are you able to get more than 15-20,000 miles outta them? Thanks!

I also posted this in wheel,tires, and brakes but I see there is more action here.

I've never had them either but I've heard that they wear out pretty fast as all super swamper tires do on the highway. People have told me that they ride rough and they kind of sway back and forth on the highway. You could probably do a search in the 04+ forum and the wheels and tires forum and get some good info.

If you never go offroad, why did you spend the extra 3 grand or so to get a 4x4??

I have Irok Radials. They are still fairly new. I have about 5,000 miles and they seem to be wearing very well. I recently took an 800 mile roadtrip in my truck and the tries ride pretty well on the highway. They make some noise but not too bad. Much quieter than swamper SSR radials. I think I will probably get 15-20K at least based on how they are doing so far. And like I said they ride better than you think they would.

What kind of crap is that, beaches restricting tire sizes? The Iroks are very poor on sand but do well in mud, etc just like any other MT. My Mud Grapplers blew in sand (did not air them down, keep in mind).

yea smiths point beach on long island as far back as i can remember wont give u a beach permit if u have bigger then 33's. now that is going back a while so it could have changed now. typical long island polotics cant do crap here, even my quad i have to tow upstate to ride long island sucks.
