If u really want to go interco I would definitly go with the SX.. especially if u do alot of mudding i was amazed with the traction of the SX compared to SSR or iroks... the treads on the sides make a huge different in mud/dirt

just my 2cent

Out of those two, go ssr. I have run just about every super swamper tire from interco and ssr over irok radial hands down. Now I ran them on a duramax but they pulled great and I got about 50,000 miles on them. Now for mud I would go tsl bias or bogger. The sx is a good tire especially for a lighter vehicle like our jeeps but do not hold up very well on road due to heat and the soft rubber Interco uses.

My jeep is my daily driver so i want a radial tire this is why im deciding between the two. I have had tsl's, SX's and boggers all great tires but like i said want a radial now. I mainly play in the snow and sand i guess i should of mentioned that in the OP.

If your is dd then I would go ssr. Now you can also take a look at the trxus. I would still go ssr. They are radial tires and you will get some humming going down the road but they will last a good while, longer than iroks.

Now one thing I would warn about. I've run about 6 or 7 diff seamless and all were great and held up great tires and great company. Only problem is now they are being made in Mexico Instead of here on the states in Ohio. The factory interco contracted in Ohio to build the tires filed bankrupt and closed the doors with all rights to the tires caught up in the legal end of it. Now i believe they are back but are being made in Mexico. Problem with this is many dealers around here stopped saleling due to lugs coming off going down the road. The molds are not holding up, especially had this problem with a few batches of the M-16 tires. Just make sure wherever u buy will warranty if something like happens. It does not happen to every tire but has recently been happening. I love interco and their products so am not drawing you away just looking out for other members.

Guess I'm biased here but I've never had any problems with the Irok radials. They're a good tire and wear evenly.
