I've never been a fan of boggers, but we wheel in different worlds...but me likey dat groove pattern.

Why ask...you already cut the rear like that. I dig it though

 

I think it would help. I ran ungrooved boggers on my Last Moab trip and I wasnt too impressed. I was down to 3 pounds of air and they handled the rocks about the same as a TSL with 10 pounds. Grooving might have fixed that.

Those huge side lugs did help though in some situations.

I ended up getting rid of the boggers and going back to TSL's.

Thats not my Jeep.. I was using the tire for something to draw on. The inner lugs are not grooved on those tires.

 

No...the REAR tires appear to already be cut with that same pattern. Or am I seeing things?

 

If you could get a tire to practice on, that would help you get familar with the cutting tool.

 

I am no grooving or tire tread expert but maybe it would be better to have the grooves leading to the outter edge so they help to push water and mud out of the tread instead of into the center. Just an idea...

 

looks sick go with it.

I like his idea but i would goove the small treads strait up and down opposed to diagonal because the whole reason for gooving BOOGERS is to gain lateral traction. I would also like to see someone take more rubber out(more than just a 1/4' groove) on the lateral cuts.

 

im with the out-wards grooving...makes more sence to get the water/mud outside instead of the middle

 

yeah but this way it seems like it'll grip better. they are friggin boggers, the mud and water will get out of there on its own :flipoff2:

 

They will kind of resemble a Claw! Looks good though!

same pattern but the small lugs arnt grooved, look closer

and the front needs more latteral traction than the rear in most cases, kinda like why people run boggers in the rear and tsl in the front

 

here's what I did to my Boggers. It made a world of difference on side hills, they are kick ass tires even more so now!

if you cut the lugs twice I think you might leave the pieces too little and chunk them off.

Actually, Boggers don't self-clean as well as many other tires (TSL's included). They require SPEED to self-clean, like paddle tires. Besides, keep in mind they're the first tire designed SPECIFICALLY with grooving in mind. The original IDEA was for the smaller lugs (along with everything above the cords) to be removed. Me being a mud guy, the design shown does nothing for me, but that's probably inconsequential to the thread starter

Heres what I did with mine

 

Personally I dont think there is enough grooving. I got this idea from fatkids ride.

 

I like it - too many look like a rat chewed on them - though I agree that you almost can't have too much siping or grooves.

Never could figure why Interco didn't release a a heavily siped/grooved bogger for those of us up north. The IROC is an improvement but I don't like the rounded/smaller side lugs.

 

Cut out the little lugs and groove the big uns . Take a look at
Dan Dibbles buggy as to what they look like w/o the small lugs ,
there not grooved in the big lugs though . Do a search on the
board for the pics .
:flipoff2:

 

thanks all for the replys.. Keep em coming!

As far as the direction of the grooves, i seriously doubt it would matter... we're not talkin indy car tech here.

I don't play in the mud too often, I mainly want the tire to be able to flex over rocks and let it contour around it.

Thanks again...

Tires look good !! I notice you have the special blue tinted edition boggers... I get that around here where there is slimy clay/limerock. Where in the south are you?

Louisiana. and boy do those things get bright ass blue sometimes! any grooving will definitely help, as I'm sure many patterns work, but I cannot stress enough how satisfied I am w/ the before & after of the grooving. I did my brothers for his XJ the same way and he noticed a big difference also.

as mentioned before there is a night & day difference on slippery off-camber stuff, they definitely hold a line better, and flex much easier on rocks...

 

I would cut em. I did mine and they bog alot better now. I am guessin since your in Florida too you run mostly mud.

 

Here's how I did mine...and yeah, Blue Boggers work better!

 

Eskimo - are those half done or did you only do the outer half of the tire?
