I know Dante has the M16's on his Range, and was thinking what could be done to open them up a little and get possibly better off-road performance out of them.
Super Swamper ND Bogger Radials:
First thing you do is open up the center by removing the inner lugs. Then you cut the larger lugs straight as I demonstrated on the right hand larger lug 2nd from the top (I didn't do all of them, too much time). From there you could even turn it into the Three Stage Lug design also demonstrated on the 2nd larger lug from the top/right hand side. For those not familiar with the TSL design:
======= Large Lug
=== Small Lug
===== Medium Lug
=== Small Lug
======= Large Lug
And the new medium lug would be "scooped" so it would bite better also.
What brought this to mind was I am getting a tire grooving iron to groove out the wear bars on my TSLs. Then I thought, what other tires could you groove? And if you did all of the above you would end up with essentially a Radial Non-Directional Bogger.
