i think everybody is underestimating the mud guys, id expect to see a few people running them at azuza or something, i have seen more 49's offroad then on show trucks
 
Well now we need all the specs and see what we need to do to our rigs so these tires can fit and not destroy the drivetrain. About 300 pounds a tire? lol
 
Simple: 2.5 ton Rockwell toploaders with Ouverson Engineering parts thru out them.

take the body completely off. some factory 10bolts with 2.73's and you'll be set :p: i dont even think that would be able to move the truck.

i was talking about the 42" SX's:D sorry for the confusion. the tread depth on those 54's dont look that deep :confused:

Weight savings in affect. With a 54" tire if you can spin 'em it should be plenty depth. If you had that mach more depth just think of the extra weight.

I would think in the 225-250 range would be a better guess seeing than a 44x16.5 wieghs 146lbs.

i was just told interco is currently developing a 42'' SX by a guy who said he has known about the 54" boggers for 4 months... now they need to get the hint and make the 42x15 bogger

I don't know you yet but I am one of those guys

I don't have all the particulars yet but I will try to get Price, Weight, and Tread depth tomorrow, Stay Tuned!!
 
I am in love! The sheer size of those would be awe inspiring. To bad the size of them is beyond anything I need at the "current time"
 
ok so whats the deal with everyone and the SX. why is that such a desireable tire. When tire recomendations come up all you hear about is the main 2 tsl's and bogger's, and now iroks quite a bit. But all of a sudden I keep hearing about people dying for the SX. Isn't it just another form of the tsl and those already come in 42's.
 
Nobody talks about the SX now because it only comes in a 38. The SX has lugs on the sidewall sort of like Claws. I always wanted SXs but I also want 42s. So most go with a regular TSL or Bogger because they are larger. I also believe SXs have a 8 or 10 ply sidewall.

I get enough complaints out of the wife from the 35s I have now. Watching her trying to get into my 54" Swamper equipped K5 would be hilarious!! Then again, I am only 68" myself......

54” BOGGER FACTS VS FICTION​

We’ve been reading a lot of crazy and inaccurate stuff on some of the forums and just want to get you some accurate information. We are closely involved with both Interco Tire and the head engineer at the plant, so these facts are right from the horse’s mouth.
First of all, it is a Bogger. It will be available in a 20” size first and a 17” size next. Other wheel sizes have not been determined yet. The tire that was at the show was a 20” tire, HOWEVER, the 20” plate was not ready yet, so the tire actually said 19.5x54x17 on it.
The tire at the show was a test tire. We picked it up at the factory Friday afternoon after the engineers had popped it from the mold late Thursday night. It was the first one out of the mold, so minor changes may still be made after the initial tires are tested and dissected. There were no other ones ANYWHERE, so nobody had any on their trucks at this show or anywhere else.
I didn’t have a tape measure with me at the show, but it looked to be about 4” taller than the 49 IROK that we had sitting beside it. I measured the IROK when we got back and it measured 48.5” with 15 lbs of air in it. The 54” Bogger only had about 10 lbs of air in it. Since the engineers had not mounted or tested it yet, they didn’t want us to put a bunch of air in it until they had tested it. The “spec air pressure” will be around 25 lbs. Since this one only had 10 lbs of air in it, the tire will probably grow with more air. It was mounted on a 20x12 wheel. The 49 was mounted on a 14” wide wheel.
This tire was heavier than the target weight. This tire weighed around 213 lbs. They are shooting for something in the area of 190-195 lbs.
The tread depth on this tire was 28/32”. It doesn’t look that deep compared to the other Boggers, probably because of just how big the tire is. But it is an optical illusion, only the 15x38.5 Bogger has a deeper skid depth. Just for comparison sake, a 44” Bogger has 26/32” of tread.
The pricing has not been set yet since tire prices are determined in part by weight and the actual weight has not been set yet. They are hoping to bring it in under $650.00 per tire.
As long as everything goes OK and there are no technical issues, they are hoping to release the tire in 6-8 weeks.
 
I can't wait to look around on eBay and see those tires on a Chevy with unholy amounts of lift lift and 1/2 ton axles :haha:

Also - on the SX tires - I have 38.5's and they have to be aired down to about 4psi to show even the slightest bulge in the sidewall. They're not the best tire for attaining the full effect of airing down - especially in snow
