Topic: tires

[Johnny5]

i have searched but cannot get the answer i am looking for. i run an 87 runner sas and will be probably makking it a trail only rig soon. i was running 33 tsl but am going to upgrade to 36 but am wondering which 36 13.5iroks or 36 12.5 tsl. the iroks i can get for $50 cheaper. i am from nova scotia canada and i run mostly woods trail and mud and not much rock but probably some. i have never seen the iroks in action but have heard good things. the tsl i yhave seen but not crazy about how skinny they seem to look but they do work well. i am just looking for some opinions on people who have run either.

thanks john

tsl what? bogger, swamper, ltb, radial?

either should perform well

If canada run the 37/13 bogger, they measure short for a 37, actually I think the shortest ever, my brand spanking new 37 mesures 34"/13" and I ran a set of 35" boggers for a mud drag and i cant believe how good those tires hook up. boggers are awesome!!!!!!!

i use to run some 35/16 boggers on my 80 and they were wicked.. but one thing i dont like.. as soon as they started diggin up any kinda hard clay or dirt they wouldnt do much but dig. so id cut them a bit if u were to get them.. the irocks or w.e are wicked all round tire.. summer winter mud snow or rock. a bud use to have a set of 39's on his 1 ton chev. it would go anywhere.   

good to see somone else from canada on here..

buddy of mine has boggers but on a 4 cyl i don't think they turn them fast enough to work right plus they don't work very well on the rock

i diss agree.. i was runnin them 35's and could spin the heck outta them. and the only bad part on the rocks is the really nice slick surface aint there best friend. but cours rocks its all good.

get the iroks. they are lighter then a bogger and hook up for sure

its all about gearing...not engine power

he's running a 1.6 converted zuk withtracker tcase mated to a dana 300 running 4 to 1 . they r 35 boggers and he has no prblem spinning them but the wheel speed compared to a 8cyl isn't there imo
