Im running tsl TN cut now they work ok on dry stuff suck if just a little mud and but will hook up sloppy mud.

They are starting to round over fast so im looking to sell and pick something new.

Im about set on some boggers im running a 13.5 wide now and hitting the shock some so the 12.5 should fit better. Also I dont want v treads and they would be to wide for what I have now.

So what I'm getting at is a bogger still the one to run I know allot of guys run them and do great just asking if anyone is looking at a different tire or anything new with all the new tires out there?

I hate to play Captain Obvious but, if V bars aren't going to work for you, I'm guessing the boggers or your only alternative. I've always run V bars so the boggers I have now are my first. I have ridden with guys that had boggers on them and had absolutely no problem.

I know just want to see if anyone liked anything different. Lol.

Now I want them to work good I mostly trail ride but hope to run a few hills. Anyone have luck just grooving them and not cutting lugs out?

One of my friends have a set of boggers on his buggy and has started to cut them and so far, so good. He hasn't gone up to Trevorton or St.Clair yet to determine how much traction they actually get, but so far in regular dirt they hook pretty well and he is happy with them.

I got some and missed around in the yard I like them. I didn't cut them but they hook nice. Can't wait to ride.

I am running 12.5sl-15 v tread. It has an 11 inch wide contact patch on a 10" beadlock and are 31-33" tall depending on the pressure you run. They are a little harder to find than the Firestones but tractor places have or will order them. Also they are 4 ply and only weigh in at 38lbs. on a douglas beadlock. Mine have held up to the sharp rocks at Haspin very well and they power me through some nasty stuff. That is saying something for my HumVee sized machine. :-D
