First look: Pitbull Rocker 37x13.50x15 - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

steveh · 05-24-2005, 10:05 AM

Just received these yesterday, and got 1 mounted up last night. Here are a few pics of how they look on a 15x10 3.5" BS Beadlocks.

Most important of course will be how they work out on the trail.

At the max, 30psi, (Bead seat pressure so to speak), I get 36.5" tall, 15" section width, ~13" tread width

Azrckcrawler · 05-24-2005, 10:07 AM

Nice. I think your going to like those tires. The tread compound works very good on the all terrains and mud terrains.

Judd · 05-24-2005, 10:13 AM

Is it just me or does anyone else see the grim reaper outline in the 5th pic? Oh yeah, cool tires Grim Reaper and all... Judd

yea it does. those tires look sweet. i've been interested in those rockers for a while now.

NSW Sparky · 05-24-2005, 10:37 AM

holy crap it is the grim reeper, scarry

I like those. whats the idea behind the steped up area in the tread.

rockhog · 05-24-2005, 11:34 AM

Looks good.I cant wait for the 39.5 Rockers to be done....

Beat95YJ · 05-25-2005, 05:30 AM

The tread pattern makes me think they will be very loud. How are they on the street?

ffdustyw · 05-25-2005, 05:57 AM

My first impression is they kinda look like the Thornbird with all of the wierd shapes. I hope to here more about the performance side of these tires. Hope they work better than the swamper version turned out.

It's a rockcrawling tire

edubreuil · 05-25-2005, 06:49 AM

they look good. curious about how well they work. might be my next tires...

HULK · 05-25-2005, 07:39 AM

How much were those? Who did you get them from? Looks like a good tire. Anyone really beat on them yet? Any chunking like the iroks?

Is it not DOT legal? Krawlers are a rockcrawing tire that see street miles? What am I missing here?

OldGreen · 05-25-2005, 10:16 AM

The 35x14.50s work fine on the street. . .kind of a low hum like a small airplane on final approach. We've got two sets of the 37s on the way now as well. I hope they work as well as the 35s do in rocks, mud, dirt, etc.

steveh · 05-27-2005, 03:16 PM

As I was mounting #2 last night, I really noticed how much the bead is recessed to create the rim protection. I like how the bolt heads of my beadlocks are ending up set back nicely. Nice feature to have on a trail tire fo sho!

The Jerk · 06-01-2005, 09:49 AM

lookin sharp steve!

ThePitBull · 06-01-2005, 04:28 PM

Man they look good on your rig!!! I'm liking the 37s more and more as I see more pics of them in use.

And yes...that is the grim reaper...with a cobra and a bar-b-que pit in the background. He must have been partying this weekend. I hear he's a trip to hang out with...

powdr7 · 06-02-2005, 01:06 PM

Those Biatches are WIIIIIIIDE!!!

jeepn4life · 06-03-2005, 09:22 AM

what is the height when the weight of the rig is on there

Shaker · 06-03-2005, 09:31 AM

They look great I run 38.5 x 15 Boggers right now but would be VERY interested in a 39 in or so tire. How much $$$ "about" do these run? Any dealers near VA?

ThePitBull · 06-03-2005, 02:30 PM

Southeastern Wholesale tire in VA - 800.849.9215

As for retail - 39.5x1650-15s run about $279. Each dealer sets their own price...some are higher...some are lower. Just depends.

.

ThePitBull · 06-03-2005, 02:31 PM

Good question. Depends on the rig. Ask Steve H what his do in the pics above.

On a side note, I like your tires, but wish the 39 wasn't 16.5 wide... If you think you may come out with something similar in size but narrower, I'd like to know before I get 39" Iroks... Oh, and in a 16.5 rim flavor (as long as I'm asking the world). Thx.

ThePitBull · 06-06-2005, 09:16 AM

Here's the thing about the width of the 39.5s....it all depends on the rim you use. The actual tires without a rim, measure about 15" side bulge to side bulge. The specs were taken on a 12" rim at 45 psi (16.5s)...so that is where 17.5" wide comes from. But like I said, that's side bulge to side bulge...NOT tread width.

Thanks for the info about the poll

Mike, it would be usefull info if you could throw a 39.5 on a 17 x 9" rim and post the measured width. A lot of guys down here run narrower rims for better bead retention.
