: Best all around pulling tires
ChrisF 06-19-2005, 10:57 AM What’s everyone running??? I am thinking of getting a set of 31" TSL Boggers and steel rims just for pulling. I have mainly pulled on clay tracks and done very well with my stock tires. But the other day I pulled on a sandy track and got last out of some trucks that I had beat buy 10 feet before...
dmaxlover 06-19-2005, 12:38 PM I'm running pro-comp x terrians, seems to work well. I wouldn't run tsl's they would be way too aggessive on the hard pack track. Alot of guys I see are running brand new bf all terrains or half wore down bf mud terrians.
BigBadDodge 06-19-2005, 01:17 PM Were the heck are you getting clay tracks in CA ??? I would like to see one !!!
Most the bigger trucks out West here run the boggers because they are all loose tracks, I have been runing them for two year now :)

ChrisF 06-19-2005, 01:23 PM Hollister, Los Banos, and Patterson (I know VTPA, Pulls) were hard pack clay tracks. I am still thinking towards Bogger even on the hard pack. I know it could just cause more Damage to the truck if it hooks up better. But I am stock height, sleeved tie rods, and I lower the bars when I pull

If you are running mostly on loose tracks, then yes a more aggressive tire would work. All the tracks i've every pulled on were hard as a rock by the end of the event, but this is in WI not CA.
moss022 06-20-2005, 08:13 PM i have always used bfg mudders, thats what everyone around here use to run till about 2-3 years ago. they used the bfg all-terrians to keep the rpm in the power band. this year everyone almost has something different. the bfg mudders will be much quiter on the road too!
nitrous_nate 06-21-2005, 01:35 AM I think I am also going to go with the tsl boggers. The track I mainly will be pulling at is really loose on top and a little moist and soft under the surface. I think I will use them on my stocker wheels I have laying around and maybe put some screws in them to keep them in place. I can't decide to get the 33" or the 35", which do you all think would be better for all out pulling? I don't care about noise or ride as I will only use them at the pulls. Also wonder how low of air you can run in them? :ro)

I would go with the 33's. It takes that much less power to turn them.
ChrisF 06-21-2005, 11:15 PM I am thinking 31's for mine with out any lift
hdmax 06-24-2005, 07:48 AM Check the rules, as many pulls do not allow certian types of tires. Like ground hawg type is often not allowed.
ChrisF 06-24-2005, 02:09 PM evey pull around here just requires DOT tires. Boggers are DOT I think Ground howgs are also but I'm not sure

That's also the way it is here in Wisconsin DOT approved.
torquet 07-20-2005, 02:53 PM I am wanting to get 265/75/16 BFG A/T or M/T to run on the street but also for pulling too. My stock tires did great on the hard packed tracks but on the loose tracks they sucked.
Would the A/T's be better for me?
thanks
dmaxlover 07-20-2005, 09:25 PM A/t's will work awesome on harder tracks and good on loose tracks. Overall I think you will be just fine with a/t's
JMOODY 07-20-2005, 10:03 PM I run Goodyear MT-R's and am having good luck. The pulls I have been to this year are mostly local ones. I've finished 4,1,2,2,3,1 all were 8000# classes except one and it was 7000#.
ChrisF 07-21-2005, 09:28 AM I am geting a set of rims and tires from a freind for free:D . some Firestone A/T 265/75's I will see how they work next weekend. they have to be better than my stock tires on loose tracks...:o:
