My guess is they will be WAY better than boggers. They are a radial tire, so thats a plus. The only issue I may have is getting them balanced well. It all depends how consistent the tire groover guy was at removing rubber...

I will say that the few sets of Kumho mud terrains I have used (which were also racing tires that were cut) balanced very well. The guy who balanced them said the person who grooved them was quite consistent. So my hopes are up.

Nice KRs. Are you going to use these to replace your Boggers or MTRs?

I sold the boggers a year or more ago. They are replacing the MTR's. I sold them for $300, so I only got a $100 into these... not too bad if ya ask me.


Yep, they are KR's, how did you know? I tried looking them up on the INTERNET for a while and cant even find any info or pics on them. You have any links or info on them, besides they are project tires for the off road trucks?

They are good tires, but the newer version of them has quite a soft tread compound. They hook up great, but they don't last very long.
