2.2 pitbull growler

[rdearolf]

After reading the specs on this tire, seems its more oriented towards the u4 guys. I did notice they are in a new soft compound......with that being said and hopefully pitbull can answer this is, im doing a new build and would like to run these on a crawlee. Would the be as good as the rockbeasts or am i just better to stick with rockbeasts?

As a Pitbull driver and someone who's used every Pitbull tire for crawlers, here's my opinion. The Rock Beast 2's are a great tire, but are very big. The Growlers are 5.5" tall but seem a lot smaller. I've been impressed with the grip that you get with the Growler. The tread doesn't look like it should work, but it does. I have Growlers on every one of my rigs. 1.55's on my Class 1 Chevy, 1.9's on my Class 2 Ford and 2.2's on my Trooper (soon to be rebuilt EB). The cool thing is that you can cut the Growlers to open the tread up if you need. I can run any Pitbull tires on my rigs, and I choose the Growlers. I guess that says it all. A lot of your choice comes down to the size you need. Is your rig big enough to sport the RB2's or are the Growlers more your size? because either one will crawl the rocks just fine.

I run mine on a yeti at speed most of the time. That being said they grip well whenever I want to go through some rocks. "thumbsup"

Warpig, I appreciate the feedback, and yes the RB2 are a big tire. Your feedback gives me the confidents to run the growlers on my class 3 rig. Tha nk you sir

Tim, are you running your Growlers with the cut lugs or stock?

Warpig, how do they grip in slow crawling situations?
