Alrighty the caddy LUV will be riding on 35s. For the type of wheeling i do i want to run narrow. Im thinking of a 10.50 and of course a swamper. That leaves me with a few options, Boggers and SSR TSLs. Now im thinking of running a radial tire like the TSLs or the SSR since it will be street driven. But im a little worried about durability. So, who has run Boggers and are they that bad?

im not worried about tread life. This truck wont be driven daily or anything. Just to and from trails untill i have enough money to buy a diesel tow rig or something. Its mustly just a question of durability between the styles of tires...

I would have to say it depends on the type off wheelin you are doing, Boggers are good in the mud, thats about it, TSL are great on the rocks, but also a good all around choice, you can pick up a groover for about $75-100 bucks and sipe the TSL's to work great. The only problem with that is the tires tend to Chunk more.

most of the stuff we do is mud. I dont realy like rocks, ive rolled trucks over before and dont like it at all :lol:
Also i have seen boggers work vary well as a trail tire. Im thinking especially so since im going narrow. Its just a debate about tire strenghts and how much do i care about ride quality...

Wow, 35x10.50's 8O thats a pretty darn narrow tire, I know that narrower tires are better for trails and stuff, I guess i shouldn't be too suprized a lot of the comp rock buggies are running 37x12.50 and thats some what the same.
