Default iroks vs pitbulls

Iroks vs pitbulls what do you guys think? Ive never seen pitbulls in the mud or snow I've just heard what people say and its pretty mixed. So if you have any input or info that would be great. I wheel 60% mud 20% snow 20% sand and possibly rubicon next year but I've never wheeled rocks and even if I do it will only be maybe twice a year so I'm not to concerned with best tire for rocks.

Thanks man. I'm new to this kind of thing (fab work and linking a rig ect.) I've had a lot of wheelers/crawlers but usually bolt on kits and lockers nothing like this. I appreciate all your the support and comments.

Finally found my axles after a couple weeks of searching and they came with a truck and some descent 42s to roll it around on till I get my rockers.

Tomorrow morning I'm gonna pull the axles out and get them all ready for the front links/coilovers. Hoping my parts start rolling in mid week and maybe get it setting on axles next weekend or the following week.

So I had to go on a trek today to get my rear leafs but I did get the jeep at what I hope is ride height and the axle under it. Tomorrow I'm going to get it on it's own weight in the rear with any luck
