Tried out my new tires today. I know lots of you prefer tractors. But I have stepped up to a whole new level going from 33" to 35" Boggers. They really dig. I had no noticable power loss and carried the front wheels over the top. I have a six rib with stock gears and a ShadeTree 2276. I can't even imagine going to a shorter tires. Maybe I'm missing something. I realize the tractors bite good. They are just so short.

They work better than I expected them to. I think they really shine on a new hill with good dirt and a little moister in it. They do spin easy on rocks. My 33's did well on rocks but I had them cut down to the cords all over. Very soft.

Some of you should try the tractors in the 35 inch tall tires. Firestone makes them in a 35 x 15.50 x 15 and they are 6 ply.

I would like to try them if someone wanted to loan me a set for a climb. I don't think I could switch though. I am really a Bogger believer.

I agree the Buckshots do work well. Seems they work better when it's dry and the Boggers like it a little damp.

I run the Cut Buckshot P's,(33"). Never had much trouble with them biting at all. Might try the boggers when these are gone.

Ya'll are going through what we went through a few years back. We started with high RPM VW motors, Ditch witch tires and alot of speed AND HAD FUN
But we needed more ground clearance, then came buckshot P's and we broke all the 3 rib tranys. Wasn't enough, so we went to buckshot Q's then R's
then we broke all the 5 rib tranys and started on the 6 ribs and 930 joints, but evertime we would make something stronger something else would break. Then we went to 38 boggers and after market 4 spider carriers and 1st & 2nd gear sets in the 6 ribs and they still broke.
So not out of arrogance but neccesity we've wound up at chaindrives door. Now we can run a superbeetle car trany behind a 2500 with 18/5/44/15 tires and just git-r-done.

For the first time in 20 years most of the time we just ride without fixin .

I'd really like to see the specs on those.

I tried here:

http://www.firestoneag.com/search_results.asp

But didn't see anything like that size unless I missed them.
