my Pit bull Rocker radial review

[rage]

Kind sir, could you please take a tape measure to them tires and get me a real-world street pressure height/width number? Thank you, and nice pictures.

25psi on uneven ground.

Somebody stole an inch there Glen.  I always wonder who does the measuring when a tire that is stamped as a 35 measures in at 34, some fuzzy math going on there.

[IronClad]

Everything ive ever read/heard  is that its because they measure them horizontally  not vertically

[Rocksurfer]

Um, they're round, perfectly round this does not compute

[zembalayan]

I think IC is referring to the tire's position relative to the ground when measuring?  Glen measured them when they were mounted or in a vertical position, rather than in a horizontal position or when the side walls are flat against the ground.  I remember BigMike's comparison to comparably labeled MTRs.

At any rate, those tires are bad ass!

[79coyotefrg]

at 25 psi on the rear of my truck they are slightly bulged as most radials always are. I'll go measure my spare

[79coyotefrg]

ok, here is the "actual" height or I guess diameter would be a better term.

[rage]

More often than not its in the rim. My 35" MT-Rs went from 34" on 8" rims to a damn short 33"ish on 10" rims. Thats why I asked, because Mr. Glen here is on 10s. While a friend of mine, at 25psi and 12" rims they measure a little shorter than these here.
now, if its not to much trouble, could you get us a width measure ment looking at the tread(so we can see section width vs. tread width) please?

                          -Thanks, Stephan

[Rocksurfer]

Exactly, still doesn't messure up to a 35, I think you need to get some money back Glen you were shorted a 1/2 inch.

[muddywaters]

if he is on a 10"  then it would be damn close to 35" tall on a 8.  regardless they look dope on your truck.  

i have been wanting a set for a while and my tax return is making it happen this year  .  going 17s too because of my future axle plans(80 series).  im just having a hard time dropping $1800 to go from 35s to 37s, though i can resell my km2s and rims and recoup some cash.


40" radials would be tits.

can do.   

[79coyotefrg]

ok, here we go

section width


tread width

[79coyotefrg]

ground to rim at 27 psi



at 15 psi

[79coyotefrg]

10psi 



10 psi  (would have went lower but couldnt find my low pressure guage)

[BigMike]

Great photos Glen

My 37" biased-ply ROCKERs at 30 psi measured 36" brand new.

how's about  41.5X1350R17LT/D ??   they have those in the radials

hey at least if ya ride them bald then you could have them recapped maybe strictly for offroad use anyway.

[BigMike]

That is true. Despite their smaller size they were AMAZING off road tires. I wished they made a 38" tire, then I would've had a 37" tire

[H8PVMNT]

I will be buying these...  Not to wide.  Perfect!

Thanks for the pics.

[rage]

Amazing. Thanks for all the pics and details.

i think that might be too much tire for my little turd right now...and my 1uz runner is not going to be done for a long while.

thanks for the pics and write-up...placing my order on monday.

[Dingman.]

Whatcha gonna get???

I really want a set of these, could buy them now but I need to save my money..
I would love the 39's if they weren't sooooo wide.

I also considered the 39" maddogs...  ugh I wish I was rich so I could try both. Lol

[potter85]

too bad they dont make the 37x 12.5x17 in bias ply... i like the 12.5s

[bigarms23]

the closet you can get is a 37x13.50r17 rocker radial

i considered the 39" maddogs too, they're spendy, and ive always wanted the rockers.

considered the 39.5 bias...hell im already spending this much..haha....but they are just not practical for a non-trailered toyota.

17x8s on order and gonna pull the trigger on the 37" radials today.  


79coyotefrg sorry for hijacking your thread.
