I have 33x10.50 boggers, they hook good (well fling alot of s@#$). Will I sacrifice my axles, cv, tranny to take the small lugs off? I'm not a primary hill climber, lets face it I have a non stroker 4 seater with heavy (but nice) coilovers. The more traction the better but I don't want to replace parts every weekend.

I have not run uncut Boggers so I have no empircal data to pull from. However they are a very stiff tire and do not flex with out at least cutting some meat off between the lugs and sidewalls. I will also say that they are a very heavy tire and removeing the little lugs and additional meat will make them lighter and less burdon on the drive train and of cource give you a lot better performance. Every pound you are rotating equates to 50 pounds of spinning mass. If your happy with the way they perform then leave them alone.

Cutting tires
Pro's and cons.

Pro's

1 Less weight means less stress on Drive train

2 Less weight means less strain on your engine

3 Cut tires will flex and get better traction

4 Cutting small lugs off will remove weight and make larger cleanouts for better traction.


Con's

1 Cut boggers will not be street legal.

2 Small lugs cut off will increase the chance of ripping off a large lug.

3 ?????? ok I don't have a third.

I had a feeling thats the response I was going to get... I might do a little trimming, Its hard to cut up new tires. I think I was always going to cut them but I needed a little peir pressure/support :D

I disagree, not because of the tires. Because of the work and knotted up forearm, lol.
