mud kings or super swampers?

both are somewhere around $95, both are 265/75/16, both would be going on a 3/4 ton 4x4, which would you buy to run? its for a farm truck, it will be used partially on the road (about 50/50 road/farm)

Mud Kings

I have 33x12.50x16.5 Mud Kings on my 82 3/4T 4wd. Been on there over a year and still look new (about 10K miles)
My brother has had his for about 4 years, about 40k miles, and they still have about 1/2 tread. His truck is basically the same as mine, just his are Q78s size. (I think)

wrong tire!!!

i glanced at the wrong one when i typed the poll, i looked down real quick and thought i was looking at the one i wanted, but i meant to put the

Super Swamper LTB

i like the mud kings also , but the only thing i was worried abotu was we had a set on the truck for about 2 years, and all 4 have about 3 patches each and two have boots inside em from sharp rocks, and they only have about 1/4 inch tread left (we was driving this thing alot back then, 2-3 years ago) probably going to depend on which we can get easier. i'm just wanting opinions on how each have held up on the road for you all. that set of mud kings got thrown in the loft and i snuck them down and there on my truck now

Thumbs up

I HAD A SET OF TSL SUPER SWAMPERS ON A 83 CJ7 & THEY WERE AWSOME OFF ROAD. IT WASN'T LIFTED,THEY WEREN'T BIG FAT TIRES, BUT THAT LITTLE SUCKER WOULD GO PLACES THAT MADE YOU SURE YOU WOULD BE WALKING AT ANY MINUTE. THEY NEVER LET ME DOWN. I SOLD THE JEEP ABOUT 20,000 MILES AFTER I GOT EM, & THEY WERE NOWHERE NEAR BEING WORE OUT.

I voted for the Mud Kings, but would like to throw a wrench into the deal. I have a set of Maxxis Buckshot Mudders (radial) on the Nissan and love them. We've run the bias Buckshots on the 4X 3/4 ton farm trucks and have not gotten stuck in the fields or pastures for as long as I can remember. I have put roughly 30K miles on the radials this year and still have probably another 10-15K before I need to replace them. The key is to rotate. The Nissan is a 2wd and I have taken it many places where my buddies with 4x's have had a hard time getting through and I have yet to get stuck (knock on wood). They, just like any mud grip are noisy going down the road, but not horrible and they take a balance very well.
