Pit bull rockers

HotRodpayton · Jul 22, 2009

I've been reading reviews on these tires a good bit. They look cool to me. I know there not the normal TSL, and don't get me wrond. I'm a huge fan of the Tsl. But looking at things from a bouncer point of view that still wants a tire that will hook, they look like a pretty good tire. Anyone have any experience with them. They are also decently affordable.

In 44" on 15" rim

Rockers 143 pounds each.

TSL 120 pounds.

They are great tires, but the money on the other hand ........ They are pricey..I would have got them but ran across a deal I couldn't turn down on these New Iroks on 17" Aluminum Allied's .

Local tire shop gets them, they all run them. Dude that runs with us has 42's that are exactly the same size as Heath's 44 tsl's that are new. His dad's 44's look bigger than my rr bogs did sitting ther unmounted. They all seem to like them and he's talking about a sub $400 per tire price on them.

Is that price for a 44 or a 42??? Just curious cause my cost on a 44 is more than that :****: Anyway, the rigs i've seen these on have a hard time getting them to clean without major wheel speed! The lug void is not anywhere close to what some of the other big tires are. They work OK in pure rock, but you have to lower the psi way down to make it happen. Then your pissed all day cause your tires are all wadded up under ya :wtflol:

I saw a guy at Hawk Pride a while back with a new set of the 42" on a CJ at first I was like Damn what an ugly tire - but then I saw them work and will have to say hew was going places with ease that everyone else with TSL's were having a little bit of a hard time - it was wet that day too.

Good to hear they work, cause they look ugly as hell!!!

HotRodpayton · Jul 23, 2009

I like um. The 44 is a lot fatter than a tsl. Probably the weight difference. I like the 42

J.A.B · Jul 23, 2009

Damn that's a deal

HotRodpayton · Jul 23, 2009

A set of 4 44x19.5-15 pitbull rockers are $1,615.64
A set of 4 42x15-15 pitbull rockers are $1,388.12
That is the price I got PM'd from the guy on PBB. Not to bad for the 42.

blacksheep10 · Jul 23, 2009

yes, the 42 is under 4 bills each from him.

Cubby · Jul 23, 2009

I've been looking at them too. If I'm unable to get bfg stickies I'll probably get a set of these.

That is a good price for those. The PitBull stuff seems to be a bit pricey for my customers for how they work? There is a local tire shop in my area that sells the 42" tsl's for 275 a tire. I mean I'm paying more than that cost on a PitBull 42. So regardless, its still hard to convince someone a tire is worth over a bill more than a proven combo (with the tsl's) We have put the Rockers (in different sizes) on several customers rigs and just haven't been inpressed. We also put a cut 47" Growler on a rig and the owner went back to his 44" tsl's after 2 rides. IMO they just don't perform for the money. For reference these were very capable rigs that these tires went on with experienced drivers, so they were good reference points. IMO they perform about like an IROK only with a little more stiffness and a harder compound.

What we found out about the coupon is that you buy from the Company . You pay a marked up price and get 25% off. That equals to the same amount of getting them from your local dealer. Jimmy at EOR checked on it for me. And I was going that way until I found my wheel and tire combo...
