Nope, false. You can burn off, smoke, or otherwise round off the leading edge of a bogger and they will still out perform any other dot tire off road.

I beg to differ. My dad runs boggers on his 74 bronco, the rear tires have every other lug cut off and the fronts have groves added to every lug. On the rear tires thelugs are gettin rounded. Memorial weekend after I broke my front ring gear I was wheelin in two wheel drive and was able to go just as many and in some cases more places than the bronco. I'm runnin Rockers.
Knock yourself out buying a brand of tires from a small, new company that has not been proven.
I stand by my statement that boggers rule over all other dot tires offroad, especially in mud.

I'll agree that boggers are best in the mud. But not everywhere else. I have wheeled on boggers, TSLs, and now these Rockers. I have never been happy with any super swamper untell I grove and cut them. So far the Rocker has performed better than I expected. Hands down in stock form I would pick the Rockers for all around off-road use. If I wheeled in mostly mud then yes Bogger.

I absolutely hate my Boggers when I get into ice or packed snow. My Iroks are much better in this situation. Sandy hills with gravel is not the ideal place for boggers either.
These are off road situations and conditions where the bogger is not superior.
All DOT tires have their place, and the bogger is really not the one tire that has it all.
Many situations I encounter where the bogger is not the best.
Heak take rock crawiling. Not many comp vehicles runnning the bogger. There is a reason for that.
As far as the burnout on a bogger, there might be a chance where it is still usable and maybe it is still better than an all terrain, but the tire is no longer as effective as it once was when it still had the leading edge and the cup in the tread.
To be as effective as possible, the cup can help displace much more mud than if the leading edge is ruined. Worn boggers just dont displace as much dirt or mud as a new one, and once the leading edge has been blown away the tire is just not as effective.

I would classify boggers as a mud only tire.
I've heard they arn't that great in most other situations. And i'll guess Ed has more experience with boggers than I do.
So i'll take his word over anyone elses lol.
