The SSR is supposed to have a tighter tread pattern and mostly comes in only smaller/average tire sizes. Also remeber that there are two types of TSL Radial and Non-Radial.
Best off road - TSL Non-Radial
Best on Road - SSR
Best off road - TSL Non-Radial
Best on Road - SSR

There's lotsa differences amongst those you named.
The TSL is The Original swamper tire, old tech, and it's perhaps the noisiest tire ever made. They come in radial and non radial.
The SSR has a stickier rubber compound too. One of the first really good rock crawling tires. Wears fast on the street. Might be less agreesive than the TSL, but still one of most aggressive treads on the market.
The Truxus is a newer and supposedly lower cost tire with a more all around friendly and useful tread pattern. So they say.
There's tons of info online about all these tires. Try using Google.

Just look at em - the TSL is WAAAAY more aggressive.
You will find the Truxus lasts a lot longer - its probably your daily driver too right? The TSLs will thumb and vibrate and generally make a lotta noise,and will wear fast. The TRuxus is pretty much a generic modern MT type tread, and radials are Always better than bias plies unless they are dedicated off road tires. Just my opinion - but I did sleep at a Holiday Inn recently. (And I've been through dozens of various tires on 4x4s in the past 20 years...)

Your best bang for the $$$$ is probably the house brand at Walmart unless you are looking for big sizes (big= bigger than 33s) . They have a MT type tire that is really inexpensive. (liberator or desalinator or something or other.)
