Have 1996 King Quad with 280cc motor. You can feel a little loss of horse power with these tires but they will dig you through anything! Not the greatest for backing up so combine the Executioner rear with some Bear Claws front and your off to take on anything. I love these tires, you big cc guys will turn them no problem and go almost anywhere my King can, LOL!

I've ran 35x14.5x15 Boggers and 38.5x15x15 Boggers. I read the complaints about Interco tires being hard to balance, about poor lateral traction and poor ice traction due to the lack of siping. On the 35's, I used conventional balancing and they still shook a lot when they are cold and have flat spots. As the tires wore down, they shook even more because they needed to be re-balanced. On the 38.5's, I used 10 ounces of airsoft BB's in each tire. The airsoft method works great, espcially when the tires are cold, because they instantly rebalance the tire. On wear, I ran the 35's down to 50% tread in 7,000 miles, but I drove them hard, made GoPro Hero fender mounted videos of me canyon carving with them, braked ruthessly hard with them, didn't rotate them.... I did everything abusive to them I could think of. On traction, I used an Ideal brand heated knife and put circumferential grooves for lateral traction and lateral sipes for ice traction. On ice, tires did as well as my Goodyear Wrangler Silent armors with the winter mountain snowflake symbol. In snow, they dig and don't pack up with snow. Traction is not quite as good as tire chain, but better in deep snow than anything else (you tube video: d9VmIPPPIiw) It's also awesome in mud (you tube video: McU4n42dpKg). And, in sand they act like a streetable version of paddle tires! (you tube: -xTahHvhZsc). I've had BFG Mud terrains, Goodyear Duratrac, Goodyear Silent Armor and Cooper SST's, but the Boggers go places the other tires just couldn't. The flip side is that they really do have the worst road manners. Because of their bias-ply construction and tread pattern with massive side lugs and huge voids, they wander all over, have poor stopping distances, wear down quickly, make a lot of noise and get crappy gas mileage. I call them my "porn-star tires" because they look the best, do their job the best and are the most expensive...... but also, they are the hardest to have a long term relationship with!

FC-II-s.jpg

Views: 291137

My FCII's came with the V8 '95 Grand Cherokee I purchased months ago. Size is 31" on factory 15" rim.


Tires had under 1k miles on them, looked like the unused spare that came with it.


The tires have been good on dry and wet pavement with no surprises. I didn't have problems in the rain but my Jeep is fulltime 4WD so no tail kicking out. On dry dirt and dry grassy hill climbs they did well. Performed well on loose gravel climbs too but I've never tried climbing through a rock garden. No mud or snow experience yet.


Tires are about as loud as the Grabber AT2's on my Silverado. As I've read from others, my tires seem to follow ruts in the road or "tramline" if you will. My Super Swamper Truxxus tires didn't do this. Not a great trait if traveling interstate.


I don't recommend FCII as I've had AT or MT tires that I liked more (especially on a DD rig) but I don't knock them or discourage others from buying.

So i just had my second pair of terra grapplers installed on Chevrolet 2500. The first set were great, I got 32,000 miles out of them so I went with another set. Problem is the new set are a full two sizes smaller than the previous set of the exact same size! Anyone else had this problem? I'm trying to get a response from Nitto but no luck so far.

i run 38x15.5x16.5 (12 inch wide rim)on my lifted crew cab silverado 2500hd.awsome tire.very quite and smooth on road and im sure they would perform like a tsl offroad.side wall design looks pretty fancy aswell.i wopuld recomend this size to a full size truck owner as footprint on road is big and tires should last quite a bit longer than a skinny version.they are quieter than my dc fun country radials.

Suppose you're not driving on a perfectly flat road, or want to turn.
Hell, ya, then you're up the creek - with training wheels instead of a paddle.
