What tire to buy

For your use, they likely will do you fine.

Most folks have no trouble with them in dry situations and say they work great.

Just be aware of the limitations, like any tire, none are good for 'everything'!

Given the usage you describe, I think your next set of tires should be something along thelines of the All Terrain KO from BFG. They will give a much quieter ride on the highway, and when aired down to 10 or 15 psi, they will grip the rocks just about as good as a rock can be gripped. You can find superior grip on rocks, but the cost is high noise while motoring to Grandma's house, unless Grandma lives next door or across town, and you don't need the freeway to get there. The best all around performance for dry dirt and rocks and highway has got to be from the All Terrain KO.

Remember the golden rule, if it makes highway travel better, there will be offroad trade offs, if offroading is improved there will be highway trade offs. A good balance of offroad and highway will come from a tire like the AT K/O.

Is it me or are your rear tires larger than your front ones?

Land that I love....

That looks like a lot of fun. I was wondering why you mentioned ratio diffs in a previous post and now I know why.

in my time ive built a few boggers. with boggers i would run 3.73 in the front and 4.10 in the rear. by making the front tires spin harder than the rear, it gives you a little lift to help you skim over the top of the mud.

C00l!!

bear in mind this is on a vehicle that is a dedicated mud bogger. that much of a difference on anything that will see hardpack is gonna break something fast.

Mine dont. fill up, they just keep grabbing till the cows come home. KH

Everyones posts just about cover that one. KH

Neither have gotten me stuck either (see how I blame the TIRE if I get stuck).

BTW, what time DO the cows come home?

Thanks, I will look into that. Meanwhile, can I interest you in a slightly used set of Thornbirds? :-)

No, they are way too noisy for me.
