Post Killer Tires

Alright i sold my 1978 truck now and have my 1979 bronco with 7 inches of lift and trimmed fenders. The beast can hold 44's and the 460 can handle im sure but i dont want to go that big cause it will rub offroad on the rocks. It holds 38's now but they look small. They are also to skinny. I would like to get some that are 14 inches or wider. I would love the 39.5x18x15 boggers but not sure where to buy them. On it now are bald TSL's but i read somewhere that TSL's arent all that good. Now im not downing them cause i didnt use them. I have only used gumbo mudders and like those. I either would like gumbos or boggers unless TSL's are actually good. If anyone knows the cheapest place to get these tires, and i need them wide, also which do you think the best would be, and i need to ship them to North Carolina so that will also come into play. Any help would be awesome. thanks
joseph

TSL's are good as long as you DO NOT drive on pavement alot with them

why not try ground hawgs i have a couple of friends who are runnin them and they seem to have a good wear life and do good off road, the only thing bad ive heard people say about them is that they are an old tire and havent made a new like tread pattern in a while.

tsl's are better than gumbo's off road, but gumbo's have them beat on the road, they dont ride bad as long as you keep them rotated and maintain the right air pressure , i would suggest the boggers, i love mine i hardly ever have to use my 4wd anymore

I have read alot on the boggers they say they are great for mud, and snow and rock, but due to the extensive digging they are kinda crappy in sand. Not much for road though. Also try www.4wheelparts.com or call them at 1-800-421-1050, and talk to Brandon at phone ext 5123. He is a great guy willing to help alot. I live in Germany and had MAJOR problems getting my stuff shipped here, but he squared me away. I will buy all my products from them through him because of that now.
