i run the super swamper radials and do ALOT of freeway driving and these tires are wearing nicely and holding up just fine. i wheel the crap out of it in the rocky terrain we get here in the desert and they are handing it awesomely as well

Radial IROCs are great in sand and snow, pretty good in rocks and mud, not so good on pavement.
Super Swamper TSLs are great in the rocks and mud, dam good in the sand and snow, and fairly good on pavement.

i would say trxus. very comparable with the irok. i have both.

You can get the IROC NDs in 33x12.50 15 or 33x13.50 not sure which and they maybe better on highway. The ND stands for non-directional. You can also get an IROC in 33x12.50 or 33x13.50 for a 17 inch wheel. Why the hell they don't offer it in a 15 inch wheel I don't know.

I went with the 31x11.5x15 TSL/LTB's & love them! I've DD/WW the hell outta them over about a year & a half, with 2 trips to moab!!! it doesn't even look like I've made a dent in the tread, but I wish I'd gone with at least a 32x12.5...

I wheel with a guy that runs the 33x13.50 15 LTBs, he does great with them in snow and rocks but it is used as a off highway rig and not a daily driver. I run the 32x9.5 15 TSL on my 1948 Jeep CJ2A and they are great, but with a top speed of maybe 50 mph it is mostly used on mountain trails and maybe a short run into town on the rare occasion. ( My 32s are 32.4 inches tall that is one thing I've found difficult to figure, some tires are as much as 1/2 inch shorter than the stated height and some are taller by that much. )
