New guy looking for some tire help

Hey everyone i'm new to the forum and i'm sure you have all heard this question a million times but what is the best tire for off road performance that would still hold up for a daily driver? I'm looking into the swamper tsl radials and ssr, if anyone has anyexperience with these tires i would greatly appreciate the input.

I have the ssr's (35x12.5xr15) on one of my trucks and I can tell by looking at the tires that I have lost tread even after a 25 mile trip. They are horrible for a daily driver but great for offroad. After these tires are gone(not long) I will throw on some bfg mud terrain. Still not a great daily driver but alot better than the superswapers and I still will get that aggressive look.

Yeah, i have the SSR's on my superduty and love them. I have them in a 38x15.50R16, and the wear is not too bad. They were expensive though. One suggestion is to keep your old tires to slap on there if you are taking a long trip or something. I keep my old 35 buckshot mudders handy for that reason. The SSR's ride well, not too loud. Great Swamper in my opinion. Check gallery for pics.
