Buggy tires for off-road traction?

Offroad VW based vehicles have problems/insights all their own. Not to mention the knowledge gained in VW durability.

the front end is just some cheep 2x tube baja bumper that mounts to the front beam, it was on the car when i bought it same with the fiberglass front end, i spent some money a few years(8) ago to get a brush guard, seat mounts and tie ins for the rear suspension and some shocks the extended adj front end also came with the car,the brush gard would be easy and cheap to make, weld some tabs to the bumper and bolt it on but the bumpers are cheap look in a mag, but im not sure if you would want to hit anything with it :roll: if i finally decide what im gonna do (keep changing my mind like a woman=) i might be selling alot of stuff, but that depends on $$$$ lost my part time job that was paying for my "want" list for my baja and looks like the money i have is gonna have to go into the house :cry: :cry: anyway enough of that, as for stock tires, i wouldnt do that, id get some tires that are taller for better ground clearance

who needs paragraphs lol

Some of the best performing tires I ever used were Dick Cepeck radial FC's, but with the tread pattern shown on the FC Kevlars. When I was stationed in Antarctica, we had them ojn all the trucks & vans. Awesome on rocks, mud, sand, snow, ice, whatever you throw at it & there are a fair amount of size choices too. I wanted them for my baja, but the prices were a bit much for me.
