Well apparently after reviewing their website they've started making tires in normal widths too instead of just 6 feet wide.

Seeing as how I'm planning on running 16.5 H1 beadlocks in the future I was intrigued to find out just how low the 16.5 tire department was getting before I invested. In doing so I've discovered theyre making pitbull rockers in 41.5x13.5 r16.5 now and also making their MT in 38.5x13.5r16.5

This made me happy because I dont plan on running hummer tires forever. So has anyone run them? Theyre MT looks a little dinky on the center tread but not terrible. The rockers are jut downright nasty though. Their website says their tires are the best of both worlds when it comes to wear and grip but everyone always inflates themself.
 
Reports from Alaska are that they suck in the mud, specifically clay. The load up fast and do not clean out, even with wheel spin. They guys up here hate them because that is 80% of the kind of wheeling we do.

Really? I didnt think they would load up with all that void but I guess experience is king right...

I mean my soonish goal in life is to end up living up there so thats some important info lol.
 
I would agree, although I don't have any....deep snow and thick mud I would like a TSL radial or bogger.

Ask Eric (Blazinzuk), he's run the crap out of his in all kinds of stuff.
 
I know a couple guys running the radials. Both running the 37" rockers, one on a big dually. He is at about 10k and the tires are half tread.

The other guy running them on his Jeep is at about 7k and they look brand new.

I don't know anyone running the bigger sizes but their radials I have seen are true to size, the 37s measure just over 37. If thats the case with the 41s they will be taller than my 42" rockers.

If you want a really good all around tire its hard to go wrong with the rocker. IME the mad dog is a better rock tire but not by much.

Its true everyone I have heard in Alaska hates em but they work as well as a swamper in the mud I run down here. We don't have alot of clay its just very thick soil, organically rich.
 
I've run 38" TSL radials and 38.5" TSL bias. There was a huge difference in the tread depth between the two. The bias had way bigger lugs. How does the Rocker look in Radial? Are they close in tread depth? I am going to get some Rockers soon also. Here in Cali, they work great from all the people I have talked with, not so much way up north though.
