My boggers wore a whole lot in a month, so much that I took them off in favor of some mud brutes. At the rate they were wearing I'd say 15,000 miles would be a long shot with 10,000 being closer to accurate. It depends on how much "on-road" driving you do. I'd also say rotation every 2,000 to 3,000 miles would be necessary for allot of highway driving. If you go with a radial, like the SSR, it will be much different so I guess it just depends on your driving style and what tire you are looking at.

Ya VERY low. I don't have the numbers you are asking for but My SSRs did wear very fast..now that I trailer my K5 the rocks will tear them up before the pavement does. Swampers are not a hard tire so the soft rubber wears very fast on a daily driver but they ROCK off-raod

Your back spinal disks will give out before those swampers do!

I personally hate mud tires on anything that does a fair amount of street driving... I would keep 2 sets of wheels/tires if I was gonna run a swamper and the truck was gonna see any kind of consistent street driving.

I agree. I only stuck my truck once with them (high centered). Now they're going on a Samauri!
