they clean a little better than mtrs. They have pretty good street manners, not terrible off road but they are no super swamper. You might consider interco's ssr. Never had any personal expirience but I hear good things about them

Some people have had good luck with Pro-Comp, some people have had bad. They can & do blow out sometimes. I can say this for sure, they don't / won't stand behind them or any of the damage that might happen. Your on your own.
There was a thread in the tire section about the AT's that are being recalled.

i would love to plunk money on swampers right now. ive always wanted a set of tsl's since i was little, cause my dad had em on a 76 we used around the farm, they were unstoppable. but i dont have the money for em right now. why i am going and trying my luck with the pro comps is, they are real cheap at 4wheel parts right now, buy 3 get 1 free, 70 doller shippin, and free road hazard insurance. this obviously isnt the last set of tires im buyin, next time around will be after an sas swap i think and then ill go swampers. i sppose the m/ts maybe aint so great but, ill make em work. thanks all. like said though dot met wrong i love swampers i see them in the future just not right now.

around where i live we dont have many real wheelin spots. we have a place we call the sand pits which just a bunch of real big puddles basically, some small trails and a nasty little mud area, they closed off the old quarry which was one of the better spots, we got the powerline trails there no good for a big truck though, tight and rocky. so other than that its just drive around on dirt roads till you find somthin, which is a past time of mine, just followin dirt roads. my point is, swampers actually might be a little over kill for me right now anyway, thanks for the in put though. i did research that recall alittle, but all i could find was recalls on the xtreme all terrain, even though everyone shows pictures of a poorly taken care wore out m/t.
