I like them there good tires but there an inch shorter than what they really are.the 40s are really 39's.The 40" ground hawg is also a very wide tire 17/40-16.5LT .But if you like a wide tire that wears like iron go for it .I never hear anything bad about them.check the link im posting look under OD .od is the real height of the tire. http://www.intercotire.com/site95.php

my buddy had them in the 38.5 size on his old truck, worked real good he has em now on a couple other trucks too, decent mud tires, again theyre not bogger but theyre ok, and like everyone else said they wear like iron
o and theres no way they were a 38.5 in tire tho

I ran a set of 44 inch Hawgs on a '78 f-250 I had, they did fair in mud, and seemed to wear quite well. They do seem a little old school considering whats on the market now, but if I were to run across a great deal on them I might by them again.

I myself like super swampers.I have run iroks radials ,tsl's,bfg's,and Dick Cepeks.I never ran hawgs i was told there not to good in mud so i never bought any and there to wide for me anyway..out of all the tires i have run over the years I like the iroks and the tsl's the best.but skiding on the street in the rain is not safe but thats what bald tires do skid in the rain.I dont see why ground hawgs would skid when there not bald though.its up to you what tire to buy but i like super swampers but thats just me..later

i've got gumbos, which is just a non-directional hawg (basically). my 44's r prolly older than me and my 40's are about 12 y/o and still tough on whatever they touch. the only thing i have heard about hawgs that i dont care for is they suck in reverse (duh, they're directional). but overall i think they're a pretty good tire, my .02

ive heard there great tires, ive heard lots of variation though on actual size some people have told me that the 38.5s are only 38" and some people have told me there a 36" tire, i wonder if since interco has taken them over that they have fixed the size problem.
