Author Topic: Best 37" tire? (Read 5154 times)

I decieded that the 38.5" TSL/SX tires would be a little to big for rock crawling. Now i just need some help decieding what would be the best. right now i am running the 33" TSL/SX and they had way more traction then the 35" bfg and pro comp muds. I haven't wheeled with any body who has mt/r's but i have heard they are like a slick in the mud.

My 37" boggers are pretty good on the rocks at about 4psi, and really good in the mud, as far as rocks go, I can't really say I've been in a position where I thought they cost me from making any obstacle, although people trash boggers, I like them

I agree with you psycho,boggers are the shiiaat.I love mine(4th set)but a lot of people say they suck on rocks(haters I guess)and I've had mine on rocks plenty of times.

Although not listed as a 37, Id pick the 38x12.5" tsl sx. I have a set of 38x12.5 tsl's and I love them for everything and I can only think that the sx would be even better in ruts and having a thicker sidewall never killed anyone.

if you ask me, I dont think 38's would be too big. me and InfernalJeep both run 40 inch boggers and we take our rigs in in the rocks/mud/sand/trails and they work prfect. so in my opinion,I would either go 38 inch boggers or like WT said, the 38 tsl sx.

you dont gotta be a rich a$$, I paid $450 for six 40 inch boggers that still have 90% tread on 'em.you just gotta look in the right places.

I have 37" MTR and my rig is a daily driver. They ve worked great offroad and aren't as noisy on road as I thought they would be. Don't know how they do in the mud, I'd rather be Crawlin!

Mike D · « **Reply #8 on:** Oct 11, 2004, 11:23:28 AM »

the only reason i didn't consider the boggers cause this will be my daily driver and offroader just about every other weekend. And I am looking for a tire that is good in everything or real close. my fav would be the TSL/SX but wouldn't be better to get the 38.5"x14.5xR15 to get better stability than with the 38x12.5"

WHITE_TRASH · « **Reply #9 on:** Oct 11, 2004, 12:48:15 PM »

I havent had any real issues with stability on my 12.5's. Funny thing is I have been running them on 7" wheels for about a year now too. When I was wheeling on them all the time I ran them on 8's and they were fine.

Mike D · « **Reply #10 on:** Oct 11, 2004, 12:51:27 PM »

you don't drive that everyday though or do you

WHITE_TRASH · « **Reply #11 on:** Oct 11, 2004, 12:57:13 PM »

I did for 4 years. If you pay attention to your alignment and tire pressure and never forget to rotate them they will last for a LONG time. Ive got just over 30 k on mine and they still have about 3/16" over the wear bars.

Mike D · « **Reply #12 on:** Oct 11, 2004, 12:58:58 PM »

That pretty good.

Hyena · « **Reply #13 on:** Oct 11, 2004, 05:46:32 PM »

MT/R's are good on everything but mud and wet rocks. For some reason they don't like to grip wet rocks.

Sipe em for the wet rocks & they work better, but they will chunk out easier on the dry stuff.

I love my MT/R's except for the constant barking when on slick rocks and going around corners on the street. I've never really tested them in thick/sticky mud but they seem to do better than my old BFG's in all area's other than wear. They do wear better than Interco's though on daily driver.

Mike D · « **Reply #15 on:** Oct 11, 2004, 09:21:47 PM »

well so far the mt/r's are kickin butt on the poll but does anybody else have experience with them in the mud

SWAMPER · « **Reply #16 on:** Oct 11, 2004, 09:30:20 PM »

Ppl I know with M/T's say they suck in mud...the mud dosent even have to be deep or gumbo for the mt's to become slicks...Id say go for the 38x12.5 if you do good amont of rock wheeling but if you do mud rocks and what not go with the 14 wide

BLUCRUZ · « **Reply #17 on:** Oct 11, 2004, 09:35:27 PM »

Sounds like a trip to the clay pits to do product testing....I'll let you know!

Mike D · « **Reply #18 on:** Oct 11, 2004, 09:38:31 PM »

please do. cause where i wheel you have to hit the mud or you are considered a pansy there is a lot of rocks but not to many people like them for some reason

have u tried them personallly?

SWAMPER · « **Reply #20 on:** Oct 11, 2004, 09:53:42 PM »

NO not myself but I have ridden on rigs with em...and I do say they cake up pretty fast...faster than my cheap o depo tires

Mike D · « **Reply #21 on:** Oct 11, 2004, 09:54:20 PM »

yeah and why not the 14.5" wide ones they would be more stable

WHITE_TRASH · « **Reply #22 on:** Oct 12, 2004, 12:53:00 AM »

Ive ran the 14.5's too. They are a great tire but they are really heavy so they will sap mucho power to push down the road.

Mike D · « **Reply #23 on:** Oct 12, 2004, 04:25:12 PM »

5.29 will make that better right

Fireimp141 · « **Reply #24 on:** Oct 12, 2004, 07:04:01 PM »

Not really, gears only give better accelleration, but if thats what ure lookin for then yes, they will, but if u want more raw power, u need upgrades

Mike D · « **Reply #25 on:** Oct 12, 2004, 09:26:10 PM »

also if you really think about it there wouldn't be much more weight added. and today i was checking out some of the stuff at lc engeneering and holy crap 5,800 bucks for a 22re long block with 200+ hp $Beer Chug\'n$

SWAMPER · « **Reply #26 on:** Oct 12, 2004, 09:29:07 PM »

Yeah I know its crazy....I could just spend like 1000 bucks in bolt ons and have around 200hp

Mike D · « **Reply #27 on:** Oct 12, 2004, 09:32:02 PM »

I want the header and the super charger and the turbo and the $1300 head and long block not to much only like 7 g's

SWAMPER · « **Reply #28 on:** Oct 12, 2004, 09:35:14 PM »

if you have 7 g's to spend on engine it be better to go with an Aluminum big block the Ram Jet 502...kicks some

Mike D · « **Reply #29 on:** Oct 12, 2004, 09:39:12 PM »

why can't everything be free

But i will most liky buy their header and camshaft kit with new rockers.
