> the most streetable mud tire on the market today
Boggers followed by Ground Hawgs. Too me, every mud tire is streetable, the only two questions I usually have is
1) will it fit without breaking something
2) can I afford to buy it
I would run 33x14x16 boggers on my B2 right now if I didn't have to worry about #1 and #2
That being said, I looked for the most aggressive tire I could use off road and towing in a small size and settled on the Maxxis Bighorn. I would have loved a Ground Hawg, they just don't make small radials. I did have SSRs before and they were on my short list.

Great info Andrew! I didnt know it was that high.
Rebo,
I find it hard to believe your BII can spin 33x14.5 Boggers 75MPH. Im not even sure George spins the 38.5 swampers 75mph through the pits.

Was he saying that's what it take to clean sticky/goo mud out of the tires?
IF so, then that would sound about right, but I know in water/mud tires obviously clean much better.

Ive took George to high 2nd gear in "da chit" but the speedo isnt something I pay much attention to. Under normal driving conditions 2nd is good until 50mph but in mud im sure its higher.
