I'm running these tires absolutely love 'em. Great onroad and offtire. Only potential drawback is the pitbull B52 sound comming from the tires at highway speeds. It's really not as bad as an interco tire but noticeable. I personnally like it. Tire does great in all terrains. Send me a PM if you have any questions. I'm looking forward to trying out the Pitbull Rocker radials next.

The Mad Dogs are alittle more street friendly than the Rockers. But the Rockers are flat out killer offroad! and you're right they do look mean as hell!

I went and plyed with my rockers in the mud yesterday and they perform very very AWSOME, they clean out so fast and offer one hell of a bite! Very loud on the hwy but it is a nice sound. I am getting a little wobble in my steering at 70kms but I think that is from running such a big tire with such a small and damaged steering stabilizer.

I would buy the rockers instead of the mad dogs....... oh yeah I did buy the rockers over the mad dogs!

As soon as pitbull comes out with a 39 to 40" rocker radial I'm buying a set!
