I got insa special tracks imo they are a great tyre in mud but on road they make a lot of noise and are near useless in the wet, also a lot of road miles takes it out of them. I would imagine the same could be said of boggers but Ive never used them so cant say but have heard they are good off road

I've just booted up with malatesta kobra.

Haven't used them yet. I'll let you know how I get on after the weekend.

I had insa turbo special track on my old disco. They were great. Same pattern as the Kaiman.

If you thinking about using super swamper boggers think again as there not a road legal approved tyre.

mind you saying that they are re treads so im not sure were you would stand, i personally have never used them as i run grizzly claws and they are an awesome tyre in the shit , but there shit on the road due to the noise
