I have never seen a set in person but, imo, the tread pattern is too tight to clean itself very well. I could see these doing ok in areas where mud is not a factor but I think they would just turn into a big slick ball in the mud.
I think they are designed mainly for rock crawling hence the soft compound and tight tread pattern.

Agreed. They're made more for the west coast, not southeast.
The voids are actually further apart then they look. There are videos on youtube of them in the mud and rocks and they seem to do great in both actually.The videos on pitbulltires.com show them at work. They are really a awesome tire.
I'd do the LTBs before the PittBulls.

...and the name, maybe.
I saw them reviewed in 4x4 garage a while back next to a bunch of other tires and they didn't do well in the mud, but great on rocks. I think they did about as well as the a/t's they tested in mud. The pattern just doesn't clean itself out, even if the voids are large.
very cool company but are pricey and really are build around dry conditions... most reviews favor the tire when not in mud
ok thanks for all the input everybody. It probably wouldn't be the best tire for monkey town type trail where its thick mud. Probably want clean out good enough to keep a bite. I will stick with LTBS and Boggers cant go wrong with those.
