super swamper boggers or tsl
 






if strickly offroad tsls or boggers, but boggers you will have to worry about no lateral traction and they come in a 35x15 or 35x10.50. I still think tsl is the way to go they make a 36x12.50 i am going with that but the tsl sx. Hope this helps
 






i wish they still made the 37x9.50x16 dually series tsl...tisk tisk
 






Run boggers in the back and tsl in the front.
 






There are alot of good ones but I like Goodyear MTR's. They are super tough and Ive never been stuck....yet.

Also what are you planing on doing, mud, sand, rocks, snow, trails? Diffrent tires are better for diffrent terrain. (sp)
 






i like the compound of the swampers.... its not hard, but soft, and spongy, like a twiny, like a twinky...
 






The only problem I run into with the BOGGERs lateral traction is really in the snow(or super rainy). Once you get pointed in the direction you want to go though, just let the paddles do their work and they come back in line. I usually air down to 8-10psi and they pretty much wrap around everything.
 






I like my tsl. i bought the radials to and they do great.
 






There is no best offroad tire, Dune guys may be partial to the bfg AT while mud guys like the boggers or ag tires. Comp buggy guys from out west on mid west may say krawlers are the shiz, and the guys who run muddy trails may say MTR or x terrains or tsl or whatever.

What do you want to wheel is the first question you need to answer.

However, I have had 33x12.5 Pro comp x-terrains, 31x10.5 bfg mud terrains and 36x12.5 TSL SX and I think the tsl sx was best offroad, but the x terrains are very very good as well.
 






my buddy has Nitto Mud grapplers on his Toyota, and they are sick, they dig like nothin i've ever seen, but they are way expensive
