the bogger, with its unique design, is one of the meanest looking tires on the market.  no more sitting at 4 way stops wondering 'who goes next?'  YOU go next;  those tires command respect.  people will look in awe at the aggresive look your jeep has, and wish they could command such attention.



And what would be best to compliment boggers???  The device mid-jeep in the picture below.  Note, requires friend to operate.


For what it's worth.

I picked up a set of AT REVO's in 31/10.5 a few years back was was happy with them for street and winter driving.  They handled better than the stock gsa's.  I run the BFG AT's on my work truck, granted it's a truck but they feel like they are not quite as good as the REVO's on snow and ice.  I do think the BFG's would be better offroad though.

I run Cooper STT's now, and they work well, are quiet and when aired down work pretty good offroad.  Snow and ice can be a little sketchy though.  I've siped them by hand and it does make a difference but if i wasn't taking it off-road I think I would have stuck with the REVO's.
This is not 'Nam, this is wheeling.  There are rules.

cus they were a good deal? there good in the summer but as soon as they hit ice its sketchy plus they are like hockey pucks if it gets any colder then -10, i wish they were on the jeep right now i wanna go play in the snow  >:(
thought the jeep was dead?

i think the sarcasm went over your head lil' buddy.  boggers are not good anywhere........... cept maybe a mudhole on level ground.  but they still look cool.



on actual topic:  ran Mickey Thompson ATZ plus on the last grand.  these were good tires all round too, with like, 70k treadware guarantee or something.. probably sucked for wheelin, but as far as a semi agressive AT on the street they did great, and were pretty good on icy/crappy roads as well. 

most ATs are gonna be fairly similar IMO. can't go wrong with a brand like Mickey Thompson, BFG, Cooper, and some Goodyears, Bridgestone etc.  differences is marginal and doubt you'll be able to tell much difference.  driver skill/ability will cancel out any gains on a 'superior' tire
