Mudmizer,got more pics?Looking good.
EDIT:Nevermind,I see you posted them already.Real nice!But,those are TRXUS STSs.I knew something was funny when you said TRXUS SSR,no such animal.There are two in the TRXUS line,yours and the ones that are more like the other Swampers with a more open tread.

BTW,the guy that told me the TRXUS would wear fast was the guy I was ordering tires from at NTW,one of the largest off road tire dealers out there and I had money in hand.He was telling me some cases of their own employee`s rigs (like Jeeps).He recommended SSRs and after 2 sets on a 1ton diesel w/utility body full of tools (in & out) w/ladder rack usually hauling ladders,pump jacks,and walkboards(8500#+/-),and towing a trailer they lasted at least 40,000mi.I never wear them down too far.
If the TRXUS last that long,I`d like to run them.But I`d have to hear more testamony.
