Received my new Pitbull Rockers today

25TH INFANTRY · #1 02-02-2010, 11:00 PM

well i received my rockers today, and all i can say is these things are beefy as hell, they look like there on steroids. the lugs are hugh the rim protection is deep as hell. by the looks of them they look like there going to be a great trail/mud tire. the side wall seems to be two inches thick. i dont care how hard you think you ride, i dont think anyone will be able to get a puncture ANYWHERE on this tire. the attention to detail on the side wall is incredible. the rubber compound of this tire seems way above any other tire Ive ever seen on an ATV, its very soft but thick. i think the wear is going to be awesome, and much better than the original big horns. now this all come at a price the fronts weighed in at 28 pounds even, and the rears were 32 on my scale at the house. thats 121 for all four tires, add the stock Rene X rims [28lb total] and the total weight is going to be 149 pounds for the whole package. i did not have a chance to get them mounted yet, but even tho the side wall is so thick there seems to be a good amount of flex to them. ill try to get soom pics tonight or tomorrow of these beasts.I bet theses tires will last the life of your next two quads.

congrats, and good post. I've been on the fence about ordering the Rockers, BH's, and GBC Dirt Commanders for a long time. Just ordered a set of rockers this morning.

Ordered the 26.5". Snoops what's the deal about the 26.5's, i hope they don't contact me and tell me they are backordered or something like that.

Please post pics asap and let us know how u like the ride. Where did you get them i am lookin into a set here this summer. And maybe this is a dumb question but i see a lot of guys on here gettin 25 or 25.5 inch tires like yourself but why would you wanna go smaller than stock when stock is 26 inch tire?

The stock tires are not a true 26" while the aftermarket tires normally run true to height or larger. So the 25" bighorns or 25.5 rockers wood be larger than the 26" and especially larger than the actual size of the stock 26" which is around 25". I put 26" bighorns on mine and got almost 2 extra inches of ground clearance over the stock act's

Hmmmmmm okay that makes sense. Now not meaning to hijack OP thread but on my stock steel whels that comes with the camo edition on my 08 800 max xt what the largest tires I could run without issues both height and width? I want to do aftermarket wheels but thats a little spendy right now for me especially if i get pitbull rockers as they are expensive as it is.

i have a renegade stock size is 25 inch, but they measure more like 24. why would would want a smaller tire, sportier ride, lower center of gravity, lower rolling mass, less tire roll during cornering. also these 25.5 are more like 26 and some change. i like the smaller tire myself, if they offered them in 24nch thats what i would have got, my second choose was the BH 2.0 IN 24.

ill try to get pics up soon.

got them factory direct 25% off, from a canamtalk.com group buy. they were $415 to my door. i would not have got them with out the discount because they are so expensive.
