PitBull Rocker Exteme Offroad Tire
When you imagine a PitBull of the dog variety, you might get the image of relentless aggression. When the PitBull Tire Company designed the PitBull Rocker Extreme Offroad Tire they probably had that image in mind. The PitBull Rocker is a Bias Ply tire. Offroad the Bias Ply tires will typically out perform their radial counterpart in the area of toughness hands down. The PitBull Rocker is built for the extreme terrain with a 6 and 8 ply rating size dependent. Airing these tires down to the single digits will allow them to flex well when broken in. The tread gives them an advantage in rocky terrain with a sharp, random-like tread pattern that reaches down the sidewalls offering protection deep into the sidewall. When aired way down the tire bulge will place the sidewall tread where you need the traction and the aggressive sidewall lugs will assist with excellent traction. The rubber compound of these tires is harder than some other MT tires on the market and thus will last longer in harsh conditions. While the Rockers were specifically designed for the rock terrain, in the mud they do hold their own. Some of the tread elements were seemingly designed to deal with mud including a stepped design in some of the center lugs and a channel rib designed to break the suction of the mud. Still, the Rocker requires some moderate tire spin to clean itself and maintain momentum. In snow this tire will perform better than many popular Mud Terrain tires but again, snow is not its best terrain. However if aired down to the low digits it will grind its way through deep snow. When aired down to the very low single digits, bead locks are recommended. Lateral traction is a plus with this tire as it offers plenty of side bite in off camber situations or traveling sideways along sloped terrain. On the street these bias ply tires are quieter then you might expect a bias ply to be. This is probably accomplished in part by a CAD designed tread pattern and their "All Bite No Bark(TM) noise resistant technology". Also aiding road traction is the sipes place in the larger lugs. Available in sizes 33X1350-15 C thru 39.5X1650-17 D. See there site for more details.

I have a set of 35x12.5R17 Radials on my 2001 Chevy Tahoe. These tires could pull me further threw trails then some trucks on 37 mud grapplers. They actually do have a good bit of road noise. Once you hit about 50 they hum loud. But thats what I like. The tires would throw clumps of mud the size of footballs an bigger. They would dig and climb. I hit a curb going 45 and there wasn't even a scratch on tire or rim. All around amazing tires. AGGRESSIVE!!!! BADASS!!!!

i have 42 15 16.5 on double bead locks. have only had these tires out in snow for maybe 15 trips. lost one sidewall with no damage to it about 2 months after getting these tires. been waiting for close to a year on the warranteed tire. still waiting. so i bought 2 iroks so i could go play again now have about 20 trips total on these pitbulls all in snow and only having them for a 1.5 years another side wall with a little scrap that you could do with your finger nail and the cords are now sticking through with a small leak.
these tires are junk. i wouldn't recomend them to anyone. you couldn't give me a set of these pos.
