Default Pitbull tires

Ok so I am in a bind between some bfg km2's and the pit bull rockers
I'm doing a 35"
I want a tire that looks good, performs, and last long on the road. What are your opinions?

Most will likely say the BFG's. Myself, I don't like their rubber. Not sure on the Pit's as most of the guys I know that run them are running them for Off-road Only. Not so much a great road tire.

So my answer is: Nitto Trail Grapplers. Still on my first set of 37x12.50-17s with about 45k on them and still have some tread left. And they do have chunks missing from a few of the lugs from wheeling. Definitely haven't been babied.

Those are two completely different tires that you're trying to compare. It's like comparing the gas mileage of an all electric car to the friction coefficient of a cupcake.

Just looking at your build though...with those light bars on the front end then you'll definitely want the pitbull tires. They do make a slightly less aggressive pitbull tire but you seem to be more the hardcore style.

There's a guy who runs the rockers in a 37" as a daily and he loves them, just bought his second set. My opinion- I hate the km2's and wasn't impressed with traction on them. I'd rather be different and run a tire not many people run.
