Anyone Running Radial PitBull Rocker's

Im wondering if anyone is running Bitbull Rocker Radials? or if anyone knows anyone running these?

if so how well do they balance? how well do they ride? How loud are they? and how true are they in size? and what mileage can I expect?

Im looking at the (Rockers 37X12.5R20) or (M'16 37X13.50R20), although im sure they will work very well offroad! My truck is a daily driver, and I want a tire very agressive but I dont want to spend $1500 dollars on tire's that are going to perform and like a thornbird (junk) or sound like a Bogger (loud),

I like the Nitto Grapplers and the Super Swamper M-16s but I came across these Rockers, and the more I read about them and look at them the more I like them!

any input will help unless you say something like " just buy the Toyo"
or "they are going to be loud"

There is no denying that the Toyo M/T's are good but I like to try to be Different from everybody else! and they are just boring IMO!

Please respond if you have real experience's not just what you think they might be, or what you heard from your buddy or what your dad likes. knowatimean!


Thanks!!!

I thought that someone recently posted that they are out of business now.

If you are talking about Super Swamper (Interco Tire)!
No, they did'nt, the company that was contracted to build them went under!
A new company got the contract to build them now! (cant remember the name)
So im wondering if they will be any better now!

thats what my Tire Distributor said, and they called Interco to find this out!

Are they Radials or Bias?

o true. i dont remember. i think bias cause they looked really stiff on the side walls. but dont take my word on that. radial will be really smoother on the road no matter what though. and a little easier to balance. well you can only run them to have the full opinion on something.

They are the worst tire Ive ever ran! not balanceable, out of round, very heavy, very anoyingly loud, 10K mile life on small trucks, worst wet traction ever Like slicks, ok thats enough!

but I will say they work well in sand and rock like Moab!

UPDATE

I finally ordered The Pitbull Rocker Radials in the 37X12.50R20 flavor!

I had too many things come up in the past few months that delayed me, I didnt want anybody to think I was all talk, so I thought I would give an update!

Anyway, I ordered them last week and they should be here sometime next week!

I will get them mounted and let you all know what I think!

My buddy has rockers on his blazer and loves them his are the bias ones. Im getting some radials this summer I think you will really like them they ride pretty good for how aggressive they are. And for whats its worth the trail grapplers are the new toyo m/ts everyone is getting them. Post some picks when you get em.

Thats what I was thinking on the Grappler M/Ts, and I will put up some pics as soon as they are installed! I might have to go up a little to clear them, and regear hopefully soon!
Thanks for the info!!

Ok, Here is the pictures!
These tires are just pissed off! they are surprisingly quiet for how aggressive they are, they do buzz a little but not at all like a Mud Grappler or Bogger, it is tolorable but they are more of a true 37" so I need to go up an inch or so to clear them better!
