I was just wondering why some of you are running / or thinking of running tractor tires ??? And are they really better than mud tires (boggers, monster mudders, ground hawgs ect...)
biggest reason is, the bigger sizes, and V treads do real well off road.
Why tractor tires? Why not? Kinda hard to find boggers, monster mudders, ground hawgs that are 50 or 60 inches tall. They will go through anything! Not my taste however...I would prefer some 44" boggers and enough horsepower to spin the p00 out of them on dry pavement ==rocks
Oh and PS if you are still questioning why just follow Mudman around through some swamp land ==roll
They do have the 54" Bogger now but at like $750 each....ouch!!! mines a on-off road truck so i gotta stick to DOT tires but a sure wouldnt mind some v treads, they sure look tough!
i always figured it was cuz mud has solid ground somewhere down there... big skinny tire gonna sink right down and drive on the solid ground under all the mud.. but i dunno ==dunno ???
1. expense - you can find them for a decent price at old farms and such
2. tread - they have like 3 inches of tread and they work good
3. size - tall and skinny works good, ive never seen skinny 44" boggers
I thought it was so u could use 22" rims!!!!!!!
i had 44 boggers they dig hard awesome tires butt my friend got a hold tractors and he never had a chance to run them lol them tractors are awesome i'll never run a bogger again lmao
I'm running 11.2/16 tractor tires, have you ever seen any other 35 inch tire with almost 2 inches of tread depth? They are just really sweet tires. The other advantage is the very wide gaps between the lugs, even cut boggers aren't even close. With tractor tires you are either going forward, or digging to china, but never spinning tires full of mud going nowhere.

CHEAPER GOT 400. A SET BOGGER 3200 A SET IGOT 44 IN BOGGERS 44 HAWGS 57 IN TRACTORS LIKE ALL OF THEM
nothin bites like a V tread
Ive seen 44x8 whitewall boggers
TRACTION TRACTION TRACTION!!! They are mainly mud tires, not as good for trail riding and such. So, it depends on what you're doing with the truck whether or not they're for you. Me, HELL YEAH!!!
I think the real question is, why not have tractor tires? It is pretty cool to have your truck or whatever lifted up so you can fit some nice 60" tires under there. I don't have or ever plan on getting my truck ever to that point.
truth be told they just look cool ==beavis
lol, i second what disturban said.
"WHY NOT?"
tractor tires own btw

I will guess that the original poster was being sarcastic... like tractor tires are what a 44x8 Bogger would be like.
If you wheel in mud all the time and never on the street.... v-treads are the way to go.
But, if you ever see the street, obviously not for you.
The other thing to think about is if you wheel elsewhere than mud. The tractor tires dont conform to the terrain as much as say an Irok or a TSL.
Tractor tires rule. Nothing sweeter than smoking 50 inch tractors on the pavement.
i got 53inch Michalans work good went every where trackters deed so far places 44 boggers wont
