Default nitto mud grapplers or super swampers?

this will be my everyday driver, i know they dont get over 40k miles. please dont suggest other tires. i know there are longer lasting tires out there like bfg km2's etc. i want either nitto mud grapplers or supper swamper radials, most likely iroks. noise doesnt bother me! i go mudding alot and where i live i always have a call to pull someone out. these are 2 of the sickest looking tires but i cant decide which to get. they are both outstanding in mud. but does anyone know which one i would get more mileage out of? it wont be a big difference but im curious. thanks.

Mud graps are still only going to give you 20-25k in mileage. But I'd go them over swampers for a DD

thanks so much guys! i here of ppl getting 25k out of the mud grapps, but some also get like 40k out of them, i guess it depends on how you drive and if you rotate them or not

Tire rotation is horrible for mud terrains if your truck is properly aligned you don't need to rotate York tires makes them wear even faster

Guess the 20-25k isn't what you guys have seen. Anyone around here with mud graps I know has been down to half tread in 10-12k miles after buying them. I doubt they are easy on the tires, but it's just my experience around them

They are by far the best streetable aggressive mud tire but they are horrible in the mud down here where I live no cleaning action on the tire

I must have been lucky then cause my last two sets of tires have been TRXUS M/T's and I got 45-50 thousand miles on each set. I did rotate them every other oil change, whether that helped or hurt, I dunno. I would have gotten them for a third time, but were unavailable when I needed tires..... I found at least in my experience these were the absolute best all around tire for me for mud, snow/ice and rain and not bad on the street either.
