I am getting into the snow wheeling and love it, I have a 1992 Toyota 4runner/surf.
It has 35" tires but am now planning for 44" tires.
i was thinking on getting the Super Swamper Bogger but have noticed that many of you guys use the Dick Cepek tire.
It looks like it doesn't have a lot of grip like the Bogger but there must be a reason for using them.
Can you tell me why this is a popular tire?
What kind of tires do you use on your truck?
Thank you very much

Hi Steve!
The reason for the Dick Cepek tire is because they are light and flexible and are able to give great flotation. Having LESS grip is often better to stay afloat since there is less risk of breaking the top shell of the snow.
I am currently running 38 inch Monster Mudders on my Sport Trac - also used Ground Hawk IIs for a while.
All the best,
Thrandur

DC Fun Countrys

This is just a little history of the DC Funcounrty tire. The original design of that tire was made by Armstrong and called the Norseman. It was designd for high floation. Armstrong also made an other tire called the Tru-Trac. I would say the Tru-Trac was more of a mudder.
Dick Cepek took the Norseman design to a new level by offering more sizes all the way up to 44inches!
