never ran boggers but I did run 37" creepy's for a year or so and they were fine once the pressures were right, but my new Trep stickies kick arse

Whats your main terrain? One tyre is designed for mud the other for rock.

no main terrain, what ever the track is i drive it, i just worried about hearing the creepys lack in the mud, so the tsl bogger isnt a all rounder just mud terrain?

Funny the different wear rates reported, I know of a Land Rover 101 that has done in excess of 15000klm on a set of 38" creepys and they look brand new. 99% on road driving in this case.
If they don't get over 40000klm I will be very suprised.

Iv run Boggers in 38.5x12 and loved them but the best thing i did was get rid of them.... :lol:
we have also ran both 37x12 and 37x14 creepys and the wider ones are much better but both are shit.... in my appoin anyway :finger: , if you want a good alround tyre for trails and mud go the 37 IROC.... best by far over both your options.... :D

37 x 13 x 15 boggers on mech beadlocks....
Great in mud, the heavier the better it seems. Give em a big rev to clear them when required.
I cant say I've had any real problems on side slopes... as long as you keep them turning slowly and dont spin, they seem to hang on OK.

Have gone out through Wonnongatta, Dargo, licola, a fair bit of high country. Rocks havent done too much damage, and they seem to hang on quite OK.

Would have them again. Esp if the orig owner sold me another set for $1000.... :armsup:

cant see how the creepys would wear well on the road. my bulge in the middle so could see the middle wearing down before the rest of the tyre. and they are noisy as all how. definetly not a road tyre

Price wise i have no idea i didnt pay for the creepies just borrowed, I think you should be paying any more than $350 a tyre to irocs or less.... not sure but i run 42's, either contact OPW or Fourbys for a quote they would be the best option
