What kinda terrain do you run? I'd say boggers off the top of my head.

Boggers, if you have more than just rocks. IMO

I got the 36" SX's and wish I could have sprung for the boggers, but that'll have to wait untill next time :D Maybe by then there will be a 38 or 39x13 bogger :D

Another vote for the SX's. I've got the same tires on my truck, they are grooved and I love them.

Go with boggers if you trailer your rig, sx's or claws if you drive your vehicle on the street. :usa:

What about valves? What do you guys recommend? Short rubber type, steel? I'm getting a new set of rims and tires in the next couple weeks (36x12.5-15 TSL/SXs :)) and I'm trying to decide which way to go. Is it worth the money to go with the flush mount valves (http://www.mrtrockcrawlers.com/accessories.html), also what about the RAD valves (http://www.klunev.com/page_rad_overview.htm) from Klune?

I've got the MRT's, and don't like them really. Just seem like a PITA to check or air up/down a tire to screw in a valve. On a trailered rig, they'd be okay though. I have plain ol' rubber ones now. I have 4 or 5 of the MRT's and two of the stems to air up/down, I'll sell ya if interested. Only one has been installed, the reast are in the tool box. PM me if interested.

If this is a daily driver or sees any sort of street duty, I would take the SXs over the Boggers...Boggers melt and don't handle worth a shit on wet pavement....

JMO, I'm running 37x13 Boggers right now...

Hey man, ill go with that everything is dependent upon what you'r going to be doing and what you have to spend. For a normal daily driver slash/weekend warrior you should go for the SX's or get a nice set of 37" Goodyear MTRs. The Mickey Thompson Claws are alright however i'd choose boggers over them.

If it's a street driver, don't even get SX's IMHO, get TSL's. I had 33x12.5's and they were damn fine on the road, and balanced great :D Now I have the SX's for the trail and 35" BFG MT's for street

Add another vote for the good old TSL. SX's are cool but I prefer the plain old TSL, the 33&36" are 8 ply and pretty damn indestructable. I believe the SX's flat spot more as well. Boggers are cool for a rig thats sees limited street time.

Go for the TSL's you wont regret it:D

i just got my 39.5 boggers i bought off the for sale board :) these suckers are big. i just ugraded from the 37x13 boggers which i barely used and sold almost new. and before that i had 35 boggers, do you see a pattern, go boggers. as for 37s there was a set for sale on the forsale board at a good price yah should take a look there, i think there was even some 36 tsl.

What do you think about the MT/Rs in comparison to the SXs?
