Default Verdict on Swamp Dogs...

How do you guys feel about using the 2.2 Swamp Dogs? Good or Bad?
Also.. is it better to run foams, or go no foams? Thanks....

I would do really soft foams, and Yes the swamp dawgs are good, but Iwould cut the smaller lugs out!!
They look more realistic than any other tire!!!

they look great, but they don't hook up as well as Pro-Lines. with the small lugs cut, they're better, but still not great.

i run no foams, the ones they come with are hard as rocks anyway.

Imex for stylin', Pro-Lines for crawlin'.

They look awesome, work good. Masher 2k's look good, work awesome. Moabs I'll let you know when they get here. Foams all depend on the weight of your rig. My Bulu named M.R.V. is 6lbs. and I do not run foams. My Buggy, Ralph was a pig and I ran racing foams cut in half.

Digs how do you know they are better?
