This was a huge factor in my purchasing of 16.5 wheels and not running my swampers everyday. Well that and the fact that the drone of swampers on pavement sounds like you are doing final door check and gets annoying after a while.
I pick up 4 Wrangler MT\Rs with 95%+ tread on them for under 800$ total. That is a hell of a deal considering I wouldn't be able to pick up 2 Swampers for that price. In the SHTF case I will initially be around a military post and there are plenty of humvees / trailers that tires could be liberated from etc. Thats the beauty of them running the same tire, plentiful supply.
