SSR?

Correct me if I'm wrong here, but you've got there is a Super Swamper TLS Ralial? The SSR tire is much less agressive than that with siped lugs and tighter tread for more on road type use. The TSL Radial which I beleive you have there is basically the same as bias ply TSL Super Swamper but in a radial. Check www.intercotire.com for more.

Well I thought the same thing after I got them home and mounted. I saw the "Radial/TSL" on the side and I was like WTF??? But the SSR doesnt say SSR on the tire it actually says Radial/TSL. If you take a close look at the spacing in the center tread of my tires compared to the spacing on the SSR(on the interco site) they are the same(the tsl radial doesnt have as large of a gap). Also the sidewalls are the same(my tire and the SSR on the site). The TSL Radial side walls dont have hardly any grip.

The SSR is just another series of the Radial/TSL like stated below from the interco site \/ \/ \/ \/
The SSR Series of Super Swamper Radial/TSL tires is the next generation of light truck radial tires. This series has many of the OEM sizes for Sport Utility Vehicles and 4 Wheel Drive light trucks who do not want to modify their vehicles but still need the performance of Super Swampers. The design incorporates a slightly tighter tread pattern, siping for wet pavement traction and icy conditions, greater sidewall protection with traction features and is quieter running.

So I hate to say it but yes you are mistaken but it did get me by surprise the first time I saw them too

I just looked alittle harder at the difference between the 2 tires and found that the TSL Radial does NOT come in 35x12.5x15....... only the SSR comes in 35x12.5x15 so I DEFFINETLY have the SSR.............

Yep, SSR. Just like my new tires except they're the 38x15.50x16 version . Haven't got to roll them yet but they sure look pretty sitting in the garage, lol
