get the rockers....if you get bias they will be wearing quick neways...i recomend a good ole set of superswamper ltbs 34x10.50r15 4 of them on 4 wheelparts.com are 619.00 and do excellent on the rocks, mud and last a good while inf properly inflated on street....balance them with 2000 airsoft beads in each tire they are always balancing themselves.... thats just me.

but the growlers have had good reviews for street and snow no mud and havent heard much bout them on rocks....

There not going to be on the street much, I'm just looking for a good all around tire for the trails. Not much snow, but more slippery conditions like wet rocks, steep inclines in the wet, or lots of loose rock, slippery tree roots etc. Not much mud but some. Rockers are probably the one I want.

I have 32x9.50-15 TSL's on right now and they don't air down for crap.

Well I got the PitBull Growlers and they are definitely the best tire i have ever ran!!!!!! they call them their all terrain but there is nothing about them that says all terrain!!! awesome tire in the mud with huge lugs that clean out better than any other tire, hands down the best on rocks, and i can walk through the thick florida sugar sand like a fricken camel!!!!!! I amaze all the members in my jeep club TBAJA.COM. Everybody gets stuck in the stuff that i walk right by them in!!!! i have driven them 1200 miles on the interstate and still have plenty of tire left all together i have around 7000 miles on them as my TJ is my daily driver and would say 90% tread left. so if you want a tire that is bad *** go with the growler!!! the only downfall is they tend to bulge in the center so make sure you get a wide enough rim!!!! i have 33x12.50x15 and run them on a 10" street lock wheel. i tried to put them on a set of 8: wheels i had and it made them bulge to much in the center!! couldnt be happier!!!!!!! oh yeah and the max inflation pressure is only 30 psi i run mine at 22 psi and havnt had to air them down yet!!!!!
