which would you buy maxxis creepy or nitto mud grappler

i am pretty sure i am going to buy a new tire for the rear of my buggy to replace the one i cut the sidewall out of, i am running 38.5 boggers now with excellent tread left. i can get 38 inch by 14.5 new nitto muds for around 285.00 each from my tire dealer, or a new maxxis 38.5 by 14.5 creepy crawler for 350.00 each on ebay.(seems cheap for a creepy).... do you think the creepy's stick better than the nitto and is it woryh the extra money.... by looking on the internet the creepy's usually go for around 580.00 each and the nitto around 350 to 400.00....................... I WAS NOT LOOKING TO SPEND MORE THAN THE 350.00 FOR 1 TIRE

von i just ordered 4 of those maxxis tires today

they should be here friday or monday. When i get them in you can come over and check them out. 4 or 5 people on my other board had them and said they loved them. So I figured I give them a shot since the krawlers fell through.

find a used tire from someone that is buying a new set.

Yeah why not just replace the one bogger? Is it more money?

a new 38.5 x 15 bogger is around 305.00 wich sucks cause i bought them new about 7 years ago for 230.00 each (wow has prices went up), so i figure i should check other options.........i found a 38 x 12.5 new tsl on a 16.5 rim 8 lug already that would be perfect for a quick throw for on for 140.00 , but the guy is almost 3 hours away ((one way) in new jersey.... joe what are you doing with your tires you have now, are they a 16 inch rim or 17 rim and would you be willing to sell a couple of them?

If your only buying 1 the sizes won't match from brand to brand or even a pair the size of the is never what they say it is

I'm keeping them so i can get the jeep up on the trailer. The new tires with the backspacing will not fit on the current trailer. I guess ill have to get a new trailer now

Von why not buy two tires for the rear and use the one bogger as a spare or just sell it off.

i will look at yours b-4 i order, 2 tires for 700.00 is alot for me right now.... i will say though i do love the look of the maxxis

Calling Rob...pitbull comments should be entering at any moment

okay i just got my maxxis creepy crawlers today. On the side of the tire they say 38.5x14.50. I stared looking at them and thought man they look kind of small for 38.5" tires. After i put a tape measure to them i realized that they were only 37" tall. I know sometimes tires are little smaller then advertised, but 2.5"? Before i emailed the company that sold them to me I figured i better ask if this was normal for maxxis to over rate their tires.

how do you measure them, dismounted or mounted with air... i want to measure my boggers

I wouldnt take either of them if given to me PITBULLS

well, what do you think the actual measurement of a 39.5 pitbull rocker is? does anyone know the answer? if i can get the correct measurement of the tires i might have more options to match up to.

My 39.5 madogs measure 38 wit 8lbs in them

how can they sell tires and market them that far off of the truth.....crazy

Von it isn't that easy. Buy a tire to match. if you measure a bogger and buy a creep it won't be the same. creeps are softer and won't settle under teh weight of the buggy the same due to softnesss of the sidewall and hardness of the bogger. find a good SET of used ttires to replace them with and use the good bogger as a spare.

Yep what he just said

Von you will go nuts trying to find a tire that measures the same as yours you really cant go buy the size the tell you they are

even the magic pitbulls that grow when you sleep with them to warm them up still dont get to the size they say

Oh and buy the way I ROCS RULE

Funny comment about the IROCS...my friend was watching the Trucks video of joes rig and goes damn those tires look like they suck hahahah. Just a funny innocent comment that I got a kick out of.

Anyone have a link to the video from trucks? I have heard about it a couple of times. Just to lazy to go searching for it.
