Is there different types of boggers? The reason I ask is, I have a set I am going to regroove and I think they are 4ply. But I have seen some boggers with alot of meat cut off, like for instance the one's on Firebugs buggy. I was just wondering how much i can cut off my tires, and if there are two differen't kinds of boggers? I plan on going at least to the 1st cord or further if permitted.

I already have a couple of seasons on these, so more tread period will be an improvement. I have a set of v tread to run also, but I like ground clearance,and traction. are your tires four ply marty?

I sure don't envy that job, let us know how many days it takes.

Thanks for the input guys. chris I look forward to riding pickwick this year I hear it is an awesome place to ride. And yes I do dread the grooving process but is has to be done. These boggers can't be worse than the dico v treads 8 ply that I cut to the cords this past summer :shock: At least I HOPE NOT :!:
