| depending on what size our tire dealer has in stock, last i checked i can get mud grapplers. like a 38 x 14 i think for 280.00 each. let me know what size you want and i can at least give you a price and see if they are available. however i do really like the pitbulls and i have heard nothing but good thing about how they grab | |

honestly of the bunch the Iroks are your best bet. the others are too expensive i believe. I love the look of the rockers though. | |

| If you're keeping 36's, iroks or pit bulls. if you are going bigger go pit bulls. My vote is pit bulls either way cause I wanna see how they do. | |

| I like the Irocks but I am partial to them as I run they in a 42 size , the Irocks in a 36 size dont have as much tread on them and they are alittle soft so they wear quick Pitbulls on the other hand are very good tires and will last alittle better then the others . I can get you pricing on whatever tire you want shipped to your door | |

| I'm not sure if this matters but Iroks are bias ply. Are the other tires radial or bias? | |

| Here we are at the tire battle again I LOVE IT so here we go I like the Iroc i think it is a all round good tire if we did just dry rocks some other tires would work great, But lets face it how many times is it bone dry when we go we have hit snow , ice , rain , mud and that was just the last two trips out the Irocs dont fill up with mud and snow. And should we talk about what tire made the crack once and almost the second time? And what tire will make bad idea? OK i am now ready for the shit talk!! | |

| When it comes to first hand trail experiences I have to vote for the Irok but I'm liking what I'm reading about the Rockers. Personally if I had the money I would go with some crawler stickys but thats only if I hit the loto. | |

To get back on track....IROCs have been tested and all agree it is a very good tire. I can honestly say it gets an 8/10 on ALL terrain. If you are looking for a good all around tire then go with what is tried and true. Now about Nitto Grapplers do you really want to spend $380 some odd dolllars for that when the Iroks are probably just as good? BFG KM2 same deal $330 or so and honestly the Iroks are probably just as good. I don't see spending that much money on a tire that isn't highly specialized. Iroks about $260 or so? Damn good deal for an all around good tire. Oh and about the crack and tire type and size....if you go into the crack with the wrong size you had better have the right rubber to make up for it. | |

| hey Bill from what everyone is telling me you can get the Rockers for a little more than the Iroks. This was why Rob is torn on the idea of which tire to get. If the Iroks still had the lock on there 36x12.50R15 still (used to be under 200 each) I'm sure Rob would already have new tires. | |
