Spent 3 year building a 78 CJ-7 and when I chose the tires, I when with the Super Swamper SSRs on a set of original Jeep steel Sport rims. In my Jeep the SSR has done so well I haven't had the need to put the Detroit locker I have on the shelf in the rear axle as I had planned before too much wheeling. So far I've wheeled for a few years on the rocks at Paragon and the wooded trails and mud in central Pennsylvania. In every case they've performed beyond my expectations. Occasionally when I'd loose traction, I could back down a hill just a little and burp the clutch. The SSRs would bite again and dig in. I like to air them down to about 12 PSI and adjust the Rancho shocks to a soft 1 or 2. This give the Jeep a great ride, eating up the rocks, ruts and bumps. Deep in the mud they're great. I can always keep the Jeep moving, even with open differentials. On the road, they get a little squirrely with the short wheelbase and a less than optimal castor in my front axle but I don't worry too much about using them on the road since I trailer the Jeep to the trail. Overall, I think it's a great performer and has an aggressive look.

I have this tire on on 98 TJ. They're 33" x 12.5" mounted on black American Racing steel rims. I've had these tires on my Jeep for over 4 years and it's my daily driver. The tire proved to do so well on the trails I run in the PA that I never put lockers in my Jeep. I've gotten stuck several ties where a locker would have helped but the overall performance was so good that I hardly ever had a problem getting through most of the stuff I wheel through. Good on the highway, better then I though it would have been and I put well over 30 thousand mile on a set. Great tire overall.
