Kevin's Rhino Rocker Tire Report Back To Main

WILD.HIGH PITBULL TIRE REVIEW Well, I recently got a chance to test out the new PITBULL ROCKER Redials 26.5 tires. After driving out to National 4WD in Burlington Ontario, Canada to pick them up, (thanks to Rich), my first impression was WOW, these tires look Nasty. I can’t wait to mount them. I chose stock Yamaha Rims as I wanted to see how the Pibtull Rim Protectors worked, Graham at Universal Auto Works in Markham Ont. Canada installed them. I rushed home to test fit my new PITBULL ROCKERS. As soon as I had them on my 2009 F1 Rhino, I tested them out.. with a quick rip down my street (expecting a rough ride), Boy, was I surprized! Aggressive tires riding smooth...what’s up with this? After staring at my Rhino sitting a cool 2 inches higher than stock, it was time to get some well deserved sleep. I did n’t get much sleep that night...dreaming of playing up in Minden, Ont. on Saturday, at my buddy’s hunt camp for a spring snow and mud tire test blast. The Rhino loved playing in the snow. 99% of the time I used 2WD and boy, do these PITBULLS hook up hard. Couldn’t believe how easy it was to drive in up to 12inches of snow and the tires wouldn’t stop pulling. They even kept clean. The next test was later in the day, we found some nasty mud. I still walked through like I was on tracks. Only got stuck once when I decided to go into a ditch.with 3 feet of snow and mud! I bottomed out the Rhino. No tire could of helped me out of there. The rock section was next. Lots of ice and rock and mud still couldn’t stop these tires! All the guys I ride with kept saying “I can’t believe you made it though that”. I was very impressed myself; I felt invincible! Big mistake, I got stuck again; this time it was over 4 feet of snow (Note To Self: Tires don’t help when your four tires are 2 feet off the ground). After another four rides like the first one except for no more snow, spring is here and these tires still have tits on them. They have no wear after 2 months of hard riding. They still look new, no flats, nothing and I consider myself an aggressive, extreme rider, I would recommend to any trail rider, GNCC Racer or anyone who just wants a tire that performs as well as adver tised, This is the tire for you! I personally will not be taking these PITBULL ROCKERS off my Rhino, as they perform way better than any tire on the two Rhino’s I’ve owned. Sincerely Kevin Highfield aka wildhigh Special thanks to Greg at Jacobs ATV magazine for hooking me up to Mike at PITBULL Tires and Rich at National 4WD

As you can see Kevin really put the Rockers through a great mud test it doesn't get much worse than this. If people had any doubts these Rockers will peform in the mud this review should put it to rest. This was a great review, and I really appreciate Kevin sending me this review.
