TSL Radial or SSR?

What is the difference in these two tires?

I checked them out on the Interco site and the two tires and the specs look pretty much identical

Is the tread size/spacing what makes them different?

Thanks,

The SSR Series of Super Swamper Radial/TSL tires is the next generation of light truck radial tires. This series has many of the OEM sizes for Sport Utility Vehicles and 4 Wheel Drive light trucks who do not want to modify their vehicles but still need the performance of Super Swampers. The design incorporates a slightly tighter tread pattern, siping for wet pavement traction and icy conditions, greater sidewall protection with traction features and is quieter running.

I will probably look at the regular radials for my next set because they are cheaper, but the SSRs are really nice to drive. They ride smooth, handle good, and seem to wear pretty well.
