Question Pit Bull Tires

Was wanting to get some feed back on the Pit Bull Tires. Pros or Con either way. I know they are Bias Ply Tires but some people are saying they like them better than the KM2 even on the roads. Whats your opinion?

It probably depends on which of the Pit Bulls you're asking about. But from what I've seen they are excellent off-road but will leave a bit to be desired on road, longevity and mileage will likely suffer a lot.

If you want a set of bias-plys for off-road, why not buy a second set and trade out. Otherwise you'll likely be spending a whole lot more on gas and replacing tires that were made for anything but pavement. Especially if you're like most of us and spend over 80% of your time on pavement.

bias ply tires will flatten out while parked (FLAT SPOTS), they also wear alot faster great offroad tire ive seen them in action and they do grip like glue , but def not a good road tire
