The SSR's handled great on the road and last along time on a light Jeep if you never air them down...that said, they are also the heaviest tire I've ever owned next to the Boggers, which means if you have lots of stop and go traffic your MPG is gonna suffer,...IMHO the best multipurpose or street tire is the Goodyear MTR, I have a set of 37's I put on the Jeep for running around town and winter use, nice light weight tire with good traction and it's fairly quiet, On par with a siped BFG MT which I've also had allot of luck with..

Depends on what your using them for,...the R's (radials) lasted almost twice as long as the Bias, but the bias work way better off-road, on road I couldn't tell any differance between the R and bias except the R's corner much tighter,
I replace my tires when they get close to 50% (or sooner if they don't suite my demands)
The 37x12.5-15R's made it close to 30,000KM b4 50%
The 36x13.5-15 Bias made about 15'000KM before 50% (centre tred measured)
I haven't had a set of TSL's yet but a few friends use them, on road I've heard they are rough and a PITA to ballance (as are most swampers), but they look like they work really well in the dirt and mud.

IMHO, If you want performance you have to pay, I'd rather have the performance where it matters most to me (mind you the only pavement my IROKs see now days is from the garage to the trailer then vice versa) this tire is designed for off-road use and does it's job extremely well, If you want a long lasting tire all-seasons are the way to go, you can't have both,... but you can have two sets ...
PS, from what I've seen, the TRXUS MT's don't last much longer on the road.
