Pit bull Growlers

[Guard guy]

Anyone have any experience with Pit Bull Growlers? Looking for a good all around trail/mud tire.

Granted, this is desert....but they are certainly loved out here.

Thanks for the heads up, DG. I wonder if the 26.5's would rub? Looking for a little more clearance.

Don't know if you're set on growlers, but Black Diamond STI's are they same type of deep-lugged all-terrain type tread. I ran them on my 450S. Much cheaper, as i recall....

Yeah, they are very proud of the growlers. The diamonds look good on the slik kote wheels. Any idea how well they perform in the mud?

Mud? That requires rain and/or water....

They certainly dug up desert soil pretty well. I'd wager they are as good as growlers in mud, which is to say pretty good for an all-terrain type tire...but certainly not as good as a pure mud tire. You may have to Google that one...

Here they are on my old Foreman 450S....

i would spend the extra hundred bucks and get the growlers they are the best tire i have ever ran you will be happy you did

Glad to hear you're satisfied with your purchase. What kind of terrain are you running on and do think 26.5's would work without a lift?

 

[bigc]

i have ran them in snow -rocks-hard dirt-soft dirt pavement gravel roads and sand some light mud they perform great in all conditions the 26.5 tires should fit no problem dont forget these tires run over sized my 25.5s are just over 26inches

Actually, you'd spend twice that much, if not more.

I'm not bagging on the growlers. I've heard nothing but rave reviews on them...BUT, the same thing could be said of the STI's.

Some guys around here run the Pitbull Rocker they look awesome and perform great.

Where did you buy Growlers that cheap? Please post for the OP.

Like i said, i have no doubt they are great...but i doubt they are any better than the Black diamonds or several other tires, and $140 buys a set of Honda A-Arm guards.
