Yes we have 2 sets (4 tires) this morning and they are 8 ply, 23 degree flotation firestone, brand new not cut. The tires are $450.00 each......I know thats a lot but......firestone still has no date to build these yet? It has been about $50.00 each tire to U.P.S. . 513-868-9543

Personally I think tire needs depend on the buggy. The lighter the weight on the tires and more power the more you need an aggressive tire. If you have decent weight on the tires and not a ton of power a less aggressive tire is less likely to break loose. Now you look at a light weight SS with a good stroker and it will see the benifit of great tires much more then a 1915 2 seater in my opinion.

I agree but im just saying $1,000 is alot of money for tires. When i can go out and buy 2 sets of boggers for close to that. imo

I used to run boggers, I liked them a lot and would use them anytime I trailride and climb some hills, but if you want to climb some serious hills, them firestones will be your answer, I have ran my buggy with both tires, the firestones is the way to go for what I like doing....
