benbenukuk Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 I am wanting to buy some new tyres but am unsure which ones to buy either 36'' Extreme Trekker 2 Or 37'' Super Swamper Bogger the only thing that puts me off the boggers is that I have heard it has no sideways grip any insight would be helpfull, They are for my range rover classic ,cheers.

Ben Super Swampers anyday, we've had both and the wide tread pattern of the bogger seems to be a great advantage over the 10.5" wide simex we had, but can be a slight disadvantage in the tight tree sections. As for the side slope issue i haven't seen a great problem with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrHT Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Boggers don't have any side grip when your not steady on side slopes. learn to drive with them and you'll have no problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young bobtail Rhys Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 I have simex and won't be changing for boggers! I like the simex, especially at 7psi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dollythelw Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 tyres can be blown up that much? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saley Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Just put a set of boggers on and only been playing round the back for 1/2 hour, the grip is amazing 3psi front 4.5psi rear, seamed fine on side slopes Jez are my tyre pressures to high they are on double beadlock split rims so can be let down a bit more, but any less i think they look flat, they do have a good footprint at these pressures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve 90 Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 No contest. Simex is a very good tyre but not even in the same league as the bogger. Simex dig great big holes. The grip from boggers is amazing. And THERE IS NO SIDE SLOPE ISSUE. Anyone who says there is, is talking out their a&$£! Ive driven side slopes I failed on anything else. Ciderman Drove my truck with the Boggers on a few weeks back and loved them, He couldn't believe the grip they had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonka Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 would i be right in thinking that boggers were not road legal? i'm sure i have seen that somewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve 90 Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Ive had dealings with that bloke and he's been talking out of his ar$e for years :rofl: only thing that puts me off the boggers is that I have heard it has no sideways grip any insight would be helpfull, Ben, Ive just read in a post of yours you "Have a 6" lift" And your worrying about tyre grip on side slopes :unsure: ???? Seriously, Just stick the boggers on, You'll love em! P.S. You will need beadlocks, The boggers really come into their own at low pressure!

benbenukuk Posted November 23, 2008 Author Share Posted November 23, 2008 Steve 90 - you are right there why am I bothered about it on side slopes? it will tip over long before the tyres start to slide. I was thinking of beadlocks what ones would you reccommend? cheers. Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young bobtail Rhys Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Which beadlocks do you want? Ready made wheels, i.e. you buy them off the shelf, or cheap diy jobbies? I have the diy ones and they work faultlessly. I would recommend Gary Andrews for diy beadlocks, despite the fact that I use bt fab and love them Same quality with Gary, just half the price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Based on today's experiences at Slab (100% Sand with a bit of sand thrown in) Boggers also work rather well there. Mind you, the car they're attached to does help Quite comedy watching Simex digging big holes with no forward motion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Butler Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Boggers any day. No side slope problems at all... you'll be on ur lid before they give way... They are also fine for road use, I have been on to vosa and the police about this and both say that as long as they have DOT approval and a speed rating, + conform to the mot tread regulations... they are A-ok.

series3_mad Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 going to be putting loads more pressure on ur half shafts, cv's and diffs as boggers grip more then bfg's will so you'll be snapping shafts lik match stick so wouldnt it be better upgrading your drivetrain before you stick bigger tyres on it?

Young bobtail Rhys Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 I have simex et2's with standard drivetrain..........just depends on how you drive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
series3_mad Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 i run simex on my 90 and wish i upgraded everything first as its cost abit to replace things as ive had a few gears from diffs exit the diff pan afew times, one went when i was driving at 60mph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benbenukuk Posted November 26, 2008 Author Share Posted November 26, 2008 I don't drive hard and have spare halfshafts/diffs just in case, What tyre pressure could you let the boggers down to before they come off the rim? Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dollythelw Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 depends on the width and profile of the wheel you are running Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
