Default Super Swamper TSL's

I'm buying a set of 31X10.5X15's Super Swamper TSL's from by buddy for a pretty good deal I think. But I was wondering what kind of tread life can I expect out of them? They are practically brand new with about 90% tread left on them.

With good maintenance (balancing every 6 months, rototing frequently, running proper pressure) you can expect around 20k-30k out of those. I ran 3 sets of supers swamper LTB's before. First set died too early, too much pressure. Second set i ran at 20/18 psi F/R and they lated 24k. 3rd set i sold before i wore em down.
