Which Swamper to choose?
Ok im looking to get a set of swampers....i narrowed it down to 2...a 38.5x11 bogger(currently have) for $1300, or a 38x12.5 tsl bias for $1200...which one do you guys suggest?

Yep 16.5, and i drive it on the street but at most 5 miles a day(normally about a mile to work and back)...never see's the highway unless im going to a mud hole/bog/drag...and i'd rather not have the skinnies but it's all my budget can afford...my woman is nagging at me to get her a ring to seal the deal, so i had to cut my tire budget a bit.

i'd go tsl's because chances are you aren't pushing enough power to fully use boggers, especially skinny ones. tsl's will last longer, and be more friendly in general across the board. did you catch this by the way? i'm not into m/t tires, but these are 16.5's and cheap.

I'm running 37x12.50 TSL SSRs on the Bronco, I'm pretty happy with them over all. They're fairly easy to keep cleaned out when you're bogging, it's difficult to get any speed if you're in the greasy stuff. They work really well in beach sand, I have no issues no matter what air pressure I run em at. For a 37 they have amazing road manners for a swamper. When I finally get to stuff the 1 tons under it, I plan on going to boggers. What I really like about these tires is they bite good but they seem to have enough give to keep me from splattering front end parts... so far anyway.
