So since I am underway with project rejuvenation, wich is simply doing more repairing and a lot less breaking, I have to start thinking about my next step toward earning it the name Toyzilla. I vowed that when my truck was big enough that I would name it Toyzilla and get a huge decal for my windshield with that on it. I feel that the last mod I need for this is a fresh set of tires. Now I have narrowed it down to the size and a couple of different tires but I wanted some input on what you think? Now for all of the choices I was going to get 38-39inch tall tire.

First is the Pitbull Rocker. The one word I would use to descripe this tire would be "monsterous." This is the ideal tire for rock crawling and mud slinging. It has a tough sidewall and unique tread pattern that is supposed to do amazing things offroad. Also, the price is relatively cheap for this quality tire. Sure like all great things there is a downfall though; there street ride is pretty bad and this would committ my truck to the trails and that is it. Which I don't really have a problem doing.
Next up is the TSL Super Swamper SX. Like the Pitbull tire this is an excelent offroad tire. It is a classic tire that has been around for a whyle now and has been axcelling ever since it was introduced. The price is midranged, and the road quality is sadly worse than the Pitbull's.
Lastly I chose the Michelin XZL. This is a military tire and of coarse it performs well, off the road. On the road they wear pretty quick. They are very puncture resistant and are the cheapest tire out of the three by far.
So those of you who read this comment on wich ones you like best and maybe that will help me in my decision.

I used to have a set of Super Swampers on my Explorer. They were very good in the snow, but OMG were they annoyingly loud on the road.
I find it funny the names of some of the accesories for cars these days.
Ya I know about the noise. It didnt bother me though, a nice hum on the highway. I had some 33 TSL Swampers on before but I sliced one open on a wet rock and had to sell the other ones. I would get the SX's this time though because of the stronger sidewalls.
Hm...I have to be honest and say that I know next to nothing about customizing your Toyzilla. But what about choosing the most cost-effective option?
Watch spelling (wich vs. which).
well this is supposed to be besides cost, and the thing is with a lot of aftermarket products, you get what you pay for. So I might as well not pussy-foot around with something that will be at least a thousand dollar investment.
I would say that if you are ok with keeping it on the trails only, go with the Pitbulls. Sounds like they are a good price and good quality. Depending on how their over the road quality is, it may be something you can get used to.
