60% tread?!?
ok, the classifieds today had a new listing in them. a set of 4 Super Swamper Boggers 35 x 14.50 x 15 on 15 x 10 chrome modular rims.
2 are 90% tread and the other 2 are 60% tread.
my question is they want 400 for rims and tires. is 60% tread a decent tire still? or is it noticeable (in appearance and off road performance). i would really like to upgrade to 35"s, and i could get the tires and have 2 sets, you know "just in case" and when i get my lift, throw the 35s on. i just dont know if this is a deal to jump on or what. a little advice would be appreciated.

Check the tires over carefully. You want to look for signs of uneven wear. I mean a bogger is not going to show the best signs of wear, of course. Boggers have such deep tread, 60% might not be bad at all. If they are cupped, or feathered, a trueing machine will make them perfectly round again. I think Ive heard of boggers lasting as long as 30,000 miles with care. Maybe that helps
