I am also going to get a set of bogger for an offroad tire. Considering i live in an apt up here it will be tough to store another set of 33" tires. Will it be unbearable to drive around in boggers all the time in the city? Is there any place where i could keep a second set of tires? or should i just leave the boggers in NJ? I also have a set of AT's but am looking at 33" kumho's as a strictly street tire.   Alan E.

With the cash it'd take just to buy those, I personally wouldn't use them up on the pavement. That said, when I ran multiple sets of tires, I rented a storage space and kept them there -- worked pretty well, as I had ground-floor access.

I park in downtown Boston too and plan on getting a 2nd vehicle when I graduate in two years. You might also have to take off the rack to fit in the garages here.   Chris Browne (Chris_browne) Senior Member Username: Chris_browne Post Number: 720 Registered: 02-2003 Posted on Tuesday, March 30, 2004 - 02:44 pm:    Jamil: didn't those ATs clag up over the weekend?   Will Cupp (W_cupp) Senior Member Username: W_cupp Post Number: 428 Registered: 07-2003 Posted on Tuesday, March 30, 2004 - 04:32 pm:    Don't count on your Trxus tires lasting 30K!! Mine are at just under 1/2 with 9K.
