If you didn't have any money to go to the Badlands you sure as hell don't have enough to get boggers!! /forums/images/graemlins/rotfl.gif /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Bad Idea for a dd Guy in town had them on his POWERJOKE only got about 11,000 miles out of them and they were about bald

My buddy has 35" boggers on his blazer. He made 2 mexico trips and 1 california trip and they wore down well below half tread.(we live in AZ so mexico and cali arent far away) They dont like long trips at all.

Why not check into some radial tires like the 38x15.5x16.5 Radial Swampers instead? These will last a lot longer than those others you are mentioning.

I have also heard good things about the radial swamper.

You could also try Ground Hawgs.

They look 'manly' and apparently wear well under normal highway usage.

mud is not pavement...valuable lesson in buying tires

 

[OFFRDK5]

Do as I do:

I have a set of street tires on most of the time and I heep my boggers stored in my living room closet /forums/images/graemlins/eek.gif until I am ready to go!!

 

[yellowK20]

I second the G-hawgs the set I have has almost 40,000 miles on them on 3 differnt trucks still have a decent amount of tread left

I know three guys who are running Boggers on their trucks and all of them say the Boggers are absolutely horrible on the road (rough and bouncy ride, very loud, and wear quickly)......and the sad thing is that 2 of these guys were running the bias TSL's before and still think the boggers are that much worse on the road....though they love them off-road.

 

[tecton]

they are offroad tires

why would yo buy those to waste them on pavement?
show truck?
or you live in a mudhole, lol

i love my Boggers but my rig see's 30-100 miles a month on the street. on the street HOLY cow do they suck, you get the wondering and floating of biasply and don't even get me started on the flat spotting. When it's cold out side it can take over 10 miles for the flat spots to smooth out.

Well if that's the case, in Texas we call closets sheds! /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

I'm getting the Ground Hawg radials

as soon as funds alowe. The Ground Hawg tires are suposta last along time from what I've heard. That was the deciding factor for me.

 

[NITRO]

well....do they make ground hawgs in the same size as the mickey's?? yes it is a show truck, and also my DD/tow rig. and i occasionally use it for a lil bit o mudding. what i really want would be the TSL radials in that size....but they dont make em even close to that size

38's are the largest in radials, but you can get bigger in bias.

 

[dysphemism]

you would want to get 44" ground hawgs, they measure 40". I'm seriously considering getting them, my 42" swampers are about done for.

Ya my Ground Hawgs were 41" Tall on a 14" wide wheel off the truck I have not checked how tall they are on the truck yet. Get the ground hawgs or some gumbo mudders these tire last forever. /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif
