I didn't vote....cos you need to put in TSL's (not TLS's) ;)

But I will go with the TSL's, mainly cos i run them and Rodney ran them on the buggie and every opinion will only be that of what the individual currently runs on their vehicle...so i vote TSL's ;) :armsup:

:P

blue label 37" krawlers suck on wet rock i know this coz i run them on my buggy. Red label might be a different story.. i guess we'll know soon enough.

sticky mickeys are awesome on wet rock.

TSL's work well - ran em on my GQ ages ago.

MTR's arnt too bad... they will grip eventually when smoked up.

Yep - Boofs Hawgs were pretty awesome on wet rock. Unfortunately, they're useless for anything else!

Sticky Claws are the best i have driven on in the wet but i would say the Mtrs are not that far behind them, i can't coment on others as i hav'nt driven on them.
Sorry BFG muds suck TSL's are not to bad once really worn in.

Mickey T's I run both 37 comp spec on the buggy and on the GU 33" claws and have had most other brands and you can not beat them in my view, the claws on my GU are great in the wet on the road and rock, mud etc

After about 3 years of competitive driving in lots of different terrains, I'm yet to find any terrain where I am unhappy with the boggers - except road that is!

I have tried:
Simex JT2
Simex Extreme Treckers
Goodyear MTR
BFG Mud Terrain
BFG Krawler (Blue Label)
Mickey Thompson Baja Claws

And I'm still using the Boggers :D

That being said, our rockcrawler will be running Red Label BFG Krawlers. They're meant to be the poo on rock so I guess I'll find out.

All that I know about them so far is they're not cheap :roll:
