Title: tsl bogger.. good or bad?
Post by: bandit86 on December 24, 2003, 08:55:34 AM
first, I hear theyre softer.  On highway use, how much faster do they wear than normal tires?
2nd, I hear theyre no good because they dig you deeper, which I'm thinking is more traction.
3rd,  Are they bias belted? does it run like bias tires that develop a fltspot when the tire is cold?
4th, It looks a lot more aggressive then swampers.  Is it really better offroad?
5th.  I hear my little truck is not string enough for 33x12.5 boggers, needs more horsepower????? I'm running 33x12.5 dayton timberline mts

I am a big fan of the bogger tire!

I find that they work great everywhere , but ice!
They slide like a hockey puck, especially on a light Zuk.
I also find substantially more wind drag at highway speeds than any other tire I've tried.

In my area they are the tire of choice by most wheelers!

Yes, if it is cold and the truck has sat for a while there is serious flat spots! That may be due to running only 5psi on the street, and 1psi on the trail!
