TSL super swampers boggers wear/handling?

[76bogger]

How do TSL super swampers boggers wear/handle on the road. Got my new 35x16 and can't drive it, cus my blowen engine I know they are sweet in the mud but how are they on the road.

They wear like iron but are noisy and hard to get or keep balanced.

as with any big lug tire, its important to keep them rotated.....ALOT!

they also tend to follow cracks and uneven asphalt in the road. not a big issue though.

I didnt mind my 33 boggers I had, they did pretty good on the street (that is after putting power steering on). I have also ran IROKs and they are pretty good but are seemingly soft. I run 38" x 13" swampers as my street tires now and love them on the street except when they are cold, man those suckers are hard! 16" wide tires are gonna be interesting with a lot of street use I think.

I run 34X10.50X16's LTB Biased Ply tires. I had hoped that bias ply on 16's might be easier to get balanced. NOT.

Went back to the shop to get them rebalanced 3 times and they still didn't get it right. I finally broke down the tires and put in about 8 ounces of the high density air soft pellets in each wheel. The difference was night and day. I can cruise 75 with two fingers on the wheel. It doesn't follow grooves in pavement runs down the road nice and straight. Nice and stable.

They will take a set when they sit for a while especially when it is cold and shake for a while until they warm up.

that is an interesting fix ,, what do the pellets do ? they just run around inside the tire ? or do they melt with the tire heat ?

They find the low spots that develop as the tires spin from being out of balance. I run them in mine. Under about 30 MPH they are not too effective but as they get up to speed they do a decent job and don't require having the tires balanced after every trip to the trails. (Most people would be surprised at how much the tires slip on the rims when they are aired down) Joes sells big containers of the heavier 20 grain pellets for about $15 which work better than the lighter ones. For yours you would probably want to split one container between each pair of tires.

You can also get them at walmart. Just make sure you get the .2 pellets and not the .12.

They have equal tire mix in them and weights, I'll see how it works in 2 weeks when my engine is done
