Re: Follow up on Pitbull Rockers
 

So how's the cost and size options vs Goodyear (MTR)? When you compare these
tires to "other off road tires" what brands and models are we talking about?
Finally how soft/hard is the compound vs Goodyears (MTR)?

If nothing else, they sure look mean!

Re: Follow up on Pitbull Rockers
 

Comparing them mostly to Swampers - SSR's, since that is what I have run for the last
several years - Boggers, SX's. Never run an MTR so I have no idea.

Cost is plenty... you are looking at over $200 a tire. Nearly the same price as the
Irok's.

Soft flexie compound on these. Hopefully not as soft at the bogger (its made for
mud, not NW rocks).


Oh yea, and they clean out beautifully in all but the worst sticky clay.
