[QUOTE="Darby1, post: 1370058, member: 17953"] Size plays in but so does the tread, in my opinion. Lets take Boggers for instance, they DO dig down quicker than say an MTR. Also the width of tires like boggers leave a much larger foot print, which i would think would equate to more damage. I don't think jeeps of the past on 33" goodyears tore up the ground like rigs are today with jumbo tires. But playing devils advocate, maybe with those big tires we don't need to hammer down on the throttle to make it over most obsticles anymore. But thats "most" obsticles. We all need to hammer down at some point during the day, and then I think thats when big tires DO make a difference. I like big tires too, I own lots of em, but I feel like we are doing more damage with stronger axles and big meats than rigs of the past. The Busywild comes to mind, during the wet season a rig on 33s is going to have some problems because 44 boggers have come thru and tore the ground up. That being said, 44 swampers are WAY more fun than 35" goodyears, IMO [/QUOTE]
