IROK vs. ROCKER

goat getter · 02-15-2006, 01:49 AM

i have read all i can from many different sources and have arrived at two tires i think have what i am looking for in an all around trail tire.

i can't decied between the two and would appreciate any and all input.. any pictures or actual measurments would be great too.

the tires i've narrowed my decision down to are both an 8 ply bias tire:

PITBULL - ROCKER @ 37x13.50x17

INTERCO - IROK @ 37x14.00x17

This is a product review section.

If you had both and were telling which was better, that would be good.

If you had both and were saying they were the same, that would be good too.

Asking which tire people run in a section where people tell what they like to run, not so good.

I have not had experience with either tire, but I say go with IROK's (not radials). I have not heard much about the Rocker's, and I think they look sorta funny.

i agree.. but i think that is because they are new to off road market. imagine the first impressions a tire like the Super Swamper Bogger must have had when it initialy hit the sceen.

just bought iroks and they are the S**T...they go everywhere...aired down crawling on super soft trails is very nice plus they clean very well....i have heard they are the bomb in the snow but..snow season isnt here yet so i cant give you a personal review.....id stick w/ the tried and true interco tire!!!

in my experience the pitbull lastsd longer, has WAY better road manners, and will do better in the mud (which isn't saying much becasue IROKS not made for mud). I havent seen them on rocks but have heard good things.

My friend had the pitbull rocker in a 37x13-15 and it measured out really true right at 37 and like 12.8 or something like that depending on rim of course.

they are a little more $$ but he has 25,000 on his and they still look really good so if i had the money for new tires those would be it!!
