New Pitbull Growler BG2.5 Tires

So after two weeks trying to decide on new tires I finally decided on a set of Pitbull Growlers and new wheels. I read every thread and review I could on different tires and had originally thought I wanted more of a mud/trail tire. I had narrowed my choices to Zillas and Mega Mayhems (I would have chosen the Megas if I went that route). Then I thought a more all purpose trail tire was what I needed so I looked at Bearclaw HTR’s and Bighorns (leaned toward the HTR’s). After stressing myself for weeks I decided to bite the bullet and go for the Pitbulls. They kept popping up in numerous threads but seemed to be regarded as a premium tire due to the cost. It’s very hard to find a negative review on either of the Pitbulls (Growlers or Rockers).

My riding is mostly trails consisting of hard pack, rock, mud holes, water crossings, steep hills as well as ice fishing. The Pitbull seemed to be my best option. I went with the Growler BG2.5 which is their less expensive 6ply version which was on sale as a package with some MSA wheels which I thought looked amazing. The tires are MUCH bigger than my stock 26" ACT’s. I went with the 26x9x12 fronts and 26x11x12 rears.
