I personally love the ground hawgs and think they would be a comparable tire, a good mix between a TSL and Bogger...and they wear like steel. They're not as good in the mud as a Bogger, but darn close. I don't think you can go wrong with Hawgs, although those tires are sized very generously. Had a buddy once who had a set of 40x17's on a 14.5" wide wheel and they only measured out to be 38" tall.

I would imagine that the mud in the semi-frozen north probably differs from the mud found in the south,so your very likely both right..... We have a lot of clay here in our Ca. mud, it tends to clog treads easily,and it is like driving on ice sometimes! Its usually not too deep or soft,your not too likely to bury your truck in it,but if your on an off-camber trail its quite possible to slide into trouble!

Boggers with a 360 huh? MAybe you are asking a little too much from that little engine.
I recently cut a set of boggers, and almost wish I had not. I did not cut the entire lug out like typical cut boggers, but cut half of the smaller lugs exposing the largest lugs and creating more space between them. She throws mud like crazy, and the spacing allows brick sized chunks to fly, but it cost me almost 500 rpm at WOT.
Boggers are heavy and they move quite a bit of mud. Maybe not the best choice for smaller engines. The 360, may not have the beans to turn the tire to be efficient.
When I run boggers, on any of my rides, the trucks seem slugish when compared to the same set-up with Iroks.
TSL's make the trucks seem like a race car. I can light up those tires on demand with in any traction condition, even on the street.
You might be amazed at how well tires with less bite can do when used with smaller engines. Sometimes more traction is not the best thing to have.
Sounds odd, I know, but until real horsepower is being made, the bogger might be too agressive.
Sure do look cool though. Cool Points or performance? Tough choice, and really takes two or three sets of tires to really compare.

Chromo's would be nice. I guess with the money Id spend on the tires...I could build up the axle first and then go big. The 38's on there now are new but the new heightthey are just a little too small and skinny for my likeing.. I Just hate passing up deals like this, but then again thats my biggest problem....
