would wooley boogers or mudlites get better traction in soupy, sludgy mud, yesterday i was riding on my worn down knobbys and decided it was time for some good mud tires.. i got stuck in some real thick mud.

If you can find them, "original" tread Wooley Boogers (not the cheap Cheng Shin Lumberjacks) are one of the best hardtail mudders made.

Go with the mudlites, boogers are some of the worst tires ever made. If you really want a pair of boogers shot me a PM, I might have a set in the trash pile that are still in good shape.

Catch me if you can
If boogers were the worst tire ever made why have they been around soo long and are still very popular. Trail pro's I would have to say fit that catagory.

The biggest reason that they are still areound is that it's one of the few tires you buy off the rack at your TSC, Farm & Fleet, and Wal-Mart. I've ran many of tires and honestly feel that boogers are over weight, under-tractioned tires. You can do a lot better for the money.Originally Posted by chrisr200x

... that might be the case for a more modern machine - but - I still stand by my statement, that for a "hardtail" trike - like his 200ES - they are a perfect mud/snow tire. Their carcass is balloony enough to provide the "suspension" that a more modern mud tire, like the Mudlite is going to have engineered out of it. Again, not the crappy C829 Cheng Shins - the original Gateway Wooley. I had a set both on my '82R and my '84 200S and they would go through anything. Also, the tread isn't as aggressive - that will not sap his already limited horsepower.The biggest reason that they are still areound is that it's one of the few tires you buy off the rack at your TSC, Farm & Fleet, and Wal-Mart.

Why is there a diff between the original and the copies. They look the same and I have copies on my SX and they work great. Just wondering.

They are actually not the same at all - the tread pattern is quite different. The Duro's are almost exact copies.

I have Kenda Dirt Dogs (Wooly Boogers) on My 1987 200X. I love them, although any tires are going to ba a compromise if You ride year round. I don't hear too many people talking about how (I think) it's good to have a tire you can break loose on the hard stuff. I guess My main rush from triking comes from the ability to get sideways speedway style.

I have the duros (booger copies) on my 250sx, they look just like the old gateways, and they are about the cheapest thing going.
They work great in the mud, but its very hard to get them to slide.
