Default RC4WD Gladiator vs Compass vs PB GROWLER

So it's time to upgrade tires on my 2door Jeep Wrangler (proline)

I was looking for scale look but on bigger side

And came across 3x tires:

RC4WD Gladiator 1.9 Tires
RC4WD Compass 1.9 Tires
PIT BULL GROWLER AT/EXTRA 1.9 Tires

Tried to find some topic about them vs each other but there is none... which suprised me as they look so alike...

Problem is: all look almost the same, all look awesome! But if to buy just one set which one to get? I live in Canada so no desert rocks here
Just rocks, trees and what ever else I can find in forest...

Question is: which looks more scale on Jeep and performance comperisment...
Maybe some one has them all and liked one more then other after tried...?

I have a set of the Gladiators and really like them. For your needs though (forests) I'd recommend Proline tsl-sx XL version. The set I have go absolutely everywhere whether it be mud or rocks or roots. basically everything the woods can throw at you.

The growlers are excellent for rock, not so much in dirt/mud. The tsl xl's are a decent all around solution. No experiences with the others.

I'd truely say the growler for the win. Talk to extreme in oshawa. They can hook you up with growlers and CI foams. That's your best bet for wquality foam locally anyways. But. For OUR terrain I'd truely suggest the growler
