I will be in the market for some new tires in February/March. I currently have TSL Radials and am happy with them. I drive about 6,000 miles a year with about 5,000 on the road and 1,000 off the road. I was thinking of going with some more aggressive bias ply Super Swampers, but I don't want to be buying tires every year. What can I expect for mileage with this kind of use with the different Swampers Interco sells? I bought the ones I have used and he had no idea how many miles were on them. I've gone from about 65% tread to 50% tread in the 5,000-6,000 miles I have owned them.
Secondly, I may be into getting a locker in the near future. I drive mostly mud and/or slick trails while offroading. Would a rear or front locker be more benificial to the type of terrain I drive? I have stock 3.55 gears on 33s, should I forget about the locker and get the gears first? I had a limited slip in my old D35 and I deffinitely notice a difference between that and the open 8.25 I replaced it with.
Sorry for the long post, I have been thinking about this stuff for some time and don't really know how to go forward with it. Thanks in advance for any info/advice you guys can offer.
