[MUD SLUT]

Groundhawgs are boggers with a center tread. 2nd best dot tire out there for the mud, hands down. I liked them when I ran them, went boggers after that, but they are a very impressive tire. Most people think they can't hang, but they do.

Hawgs don't even match up to a TSL. Buddy of mine had a set of 40" Hawgs on his racer & never once placed top 6 in I don't know how many years with Missouri Mud Racing Association Super Stock class. Switched to 39.5 TSL's in 1990 & won the first time out and ran top 6 pretty much from then on - naturally, he went to Boggers in '93 when they came out :laughing::laughing:

i ran a set of 40x17 hawgs and they were ok , cut them and they were better, but got rid of them for boggers and it was a world of difference. i would also consider mud grapplers , i didn't really like them untill i seen a set of 35 grapplers on a bronco go through the same hole a shortbed dodge on 38.5 boggers got burried in. they're also really hard compound so they probly wouldn't wear much on-road.

Yeah a buddie of mine has grapplers and they are good...not as good as the tsl's IMO, BUT they are very good on the street and in mud, but there loud as hell. My tsl radials really arnt loud at all for a mud tire esp. a swamper

Yeah i can now kinda see that in the tread..are the bias strong and good on the street also? Or just the radial for the ground hawgs

Hawgs were great in the 80's, now, not so much. However, you mentioned doing alot of street driving and they DO wear like iron....so thats a plus on their side.

That's why I've got Hawgs mlounted on the old tubine wheels for my 79 Bronco resto project, I wanted a "nostalgic" look for my 79 and make it look period correct, while till being able to hang in there when I do take it out.

But I still am going to keep my Boggers around, there's just no matching what they can do.

Ground Hogs were cool in 1982 when there were 2 mud tires to choose from... Buckshot Mudder or Ground Hog.

The blow ass. I think the tread depth is about 3/8" new. They're a pulling tire, not an off road tire.

If you run Ground Hogs, you must have a mullet and a Styx tee shirt to go with them.

I've got a Styx t-shirt & a Foghat belt buckle, but no mullet & no Ground Hawgs :laughing::laughing:

I have never run Ground Hogs, However I have to many kids, bills and not enough pay check. so i have to stretch my tires. I run Remington mud brutes 35s. 35s are the biggest you can get, cost me 600 buck mounted and balanced. they last a long time on the road and do good in the mud. Not the best tire out there for the mud but a good compromise for mud and street, and they are cheep.

 

[ffp00ch214]

do the ground hawgs have to be on a vehicle for the mullet and styx t shirt law to take affect?

 

[cj5.5]

If you buy hawgs, check the date code. We just ordered a set for a customer [new, from a large tire wholesaler]. They were manufactured in 2000 .

And I want a Foghat belt buckle.

 

[98ZJ]

How about interco truxus MT's? Those have been great in the mud for me, they dig like hell and clean like hell. Not bad on the road, but break loose fairly easy in the rain. You just have to learn how to drive with them.

Hi fella's, just a comment from a old man from back in the day...... I bought my first set of Ground Hawgs in 1977. Back then you had 3 choices....Ground Hawg's, Buck Shots, or Daytona Super Stags. Everything was bias in big tires back then. I ran the Ground Hawgs for several years, and was happy with the performance. They wore good, pulled good, and the backing up thing, wasn't too much of a problem. But I switched to Super Stags, and ran those until I totaled my truck in '87. Buck Shots are real close to the old 'Stag, and while I like the looks of the Ground Hawgs(directional), the Stag was the tire to have back then. I'm doing a '74 Ram Charger resto, and plan to do the 'Hawg thing with white spokes just for the look. A lot has changed since then, and I looking for a good tire for my '81 Power Ram, so I'm paying a lot of attention to what Y'all are saying. Right now, I'm leaning towards the Boggers.

I'v been running the hawgs that came on my rig when it was a k5 mud truck for 3-4 years now, they literally have not worn down at all....and too be honest they arn't THAT bad.

 

[Offroad_YJ]

Ive had a few sets of ground hawgs and really liked them, I had 40's and 33's...

they were good on the road, pretty good offroad but with the tread, I noticed lack of traction in some situations unless you air them down pretty low.

Yeah I run 6-7 up front and around 5 in the rear.
