Pitbull Rocker wear?

[Maverick]

Saving my money for new treads...wondering how long the Pitbull Rockers will last compared to other tires. I drive the jeep 10-20 miles a day in the summer, and last summer it trashed my set of 39" IROKs.

Would like to go back to 38's, but also considering 37's.

Also have a line on some used 37" wrangler MT'Rs that I think would wear good. Considering 37" Cooper Discoverer STT's.

Any of these will be aggressive enough for what I do, but open to input about other tires.

I wanna drive it during the summer, wheel it once a month, and just don't wanna put new tires on it each year...

Rocker Radials may last 20,000. The bias ply wear quickly. I have only driven on my bias Rockers less than 200 miles and you can see the wear already, especially on the fronts. For road driving I would recommend something else.

And THAT is just what I was looking for. Rocker radials...best place to buy them? (been looking at groupbuy.com)

Dont let the Pitbulls decieve you. They do round off kind of quick but after that...the depth lasts a long time. Radials or bias.

I would recommend the radials since your planning street more than wheeling but not for better wear....just smoother ride.

Iroks blow for longevity. I think Interco should be ashamed of them. If they lasted you a year I would guess the Pitbulls will last you 3 or more.

Ride isn't as important as wear. The last two sets of tires have been bias, and ride has been ok.

Very true statement, I ran a set of 36's on my dd and I got ALMOST 9000 miles out of them...and they were radials!!

3 or more sounds good.

Any more reviews for these tires? How do they do in the rocks and on slickrock? Do they clean out mud pretty well?

My friend has a set of 37" bias rockers. After a bit of break-in, they hook up great in Moab. He had Iroks before, and the Rockers are wearing WAY better, they will last 3 times as long at least. The bias ones do run a bit short and wide, from what I have seen the radials are a bit taller for a given size.

I guess I can give an update. So far I have owned my for a little over a year now and I have had them out on a couple of different runs. My rig handles well at speed if I am off road. On the road it does not handle well but, I think most of it is the rig not the tires. In the mud they are okay, deep snow they are good/great provided that it is deep. If there is only a few inches then they suck since they are so wide. On the road there is some road noise but, not as bad as I thought they would be. Actually pretty quiet for such a large aggressive tire. I will be at Moab this week and hope to have some time on the rocks with them. Overall I really do like them and they do well enough just about every where. I wish they made a 44X15X17. I could use just a tad more diff clearance.

I'm planning on doing 37/13.5/r16 rockers with beadlock rims for my blazer I heard a lot of good about them and I like the way they look. Peeps say they are killer on the rocks when aired down. NEG: it was also reported that they tend to pop off the rim due to how wide they are. The reviews say a 10" and 12" wide rim works well for them depending how wide the ones you choose.

 

[Cascadia]

So with an 8 inch wheel what kinda of air pressure can I air down to without worrying about popping a bead without bead locks? Are they heavy like a toyo mud terrain or are they like a normal bfg or goodyear mud terrain?

My 39" Maddogs have about 3500 miles on them and have VERY little wear other than the corners being rounded off a bit. My guess is I'll easily get 15k out of them.

I'm eying the 37" radial rockers but we'll see.

The Rockers are pretty awesome! A couple of my friends are running them and love them. They last a long time for what they are, I'm considering them for my next tire in a radial. It's kind of a toss up for me between the Rockers and the new MTR/k's. I've seen both rule house in all conditions up here, really just a matter of how much street time they'll be seeing.
