Don't go with the 36's, go with the 37's. They are actually the same diameter, but the 37 is much more squared off looking, while the 36 is very baloon like.

 

Hey, I remeber this, You know I am a huge BFGR mud terrain fan I just got 35x12.5x17s km2s you can't go wrong with these tires, incredible traction in all off-road conditions and great on road manners

 

i have actually read in several places that the km2's do not do well in teh mud. they seem to have a problem throwing off the mud!!

mr t as far a decision i still don't have one. i am leaning towards pitbull cause they wear better and may last longer. i am def with you on the 36 inch. i am a huge fan of wider over taller.

so i am guessing that no one runs pitbulls and i might have to be the first.


so pitbull rockers or irocs

these are the two!!

 

Couldnt tell ya, go w/ your gut. I like the iroks' myselff. Only other thing is (im not sure if you mentioned it) id go w/ a radial. Bias tires are designed for more pure offroad and not street. If youre using the jeep as a dd or running highway id stick to a radial. IMHO.

 

Be aware that the rated size of the Pitbulls is somewhat deceiving. They are quite a bit shorter than advertised. I had a set of Rockers in 37x13.50-17 and they were an inch or so shorter than my Hankooks. They are measured at the center of the tread, which is quite "balooned" at full pressure. When aired down, the shoulder height was more like a 35 than a 37. They are heavy and aggressive, but would not be my choice of tires. For an off-road only tire, the Super Swamper Irok can't be beat, in my opinion.

 

renegade that is the kind of answer i was looking for. thank you some real world experience thats why i love this site.

as for bias or radial i was told there is a different tread pattern for the same size tire. these will be my offroad tire with little street wear so i don't think i am too concerned with the ride quality
