If you mean the 39x16.5-20 Pitbull Rockers, there's no comparison to the original Michelins. In the limited snow testing I did (wet, but hub deep) they did as well or better than the Michelins with chains. Simple ladder chains, but still. Haven't done much driving in regular dirt yet, but...

Dave unfortunately only has flat wheel centers, which won't fit a SEE without using wheel spacers. Red Barn's website shows flat center wheels, too. Losing the hub centric function of the wheel is not something I'm willing to do. So for now, my choices seem to be Stazworks or widened stock wheels.

Just got an email confirming that my 39x16.5x20 Pitbull Rocker tires are on their way. I have run the Pitbull Rockers on my Jeep since they first came out, and I'm extremely happy with them. With the wider tread the SEE won't sink as much on soft ground, and being bias ply, the sidewalls are...

Interesting. I had not come across that one. Maybe with the high ground pressure of a SEE, that tire could work. Based on my experience with commercial tread on tractors, the traction is pretty dismal compared to a regular R-1 Ag tire. They'll last a lot longer on pavement, though.

Hmm, that sounds like a feasible idea for winter "tires" for me. Would tear up the pastures too much when things aren't frozen.

I'm about to call a place that (most likely) can and will build a set of 20x14 wheels for me, but want to be sure that I can get my hands on the tires of choice first.

I had missed the need for a bulge in the wheel center to clear the caliper (just in time, thanks profo!) but do know that the minimum ID in the wheel's drop center is 17.25 inches for the calipers to clear. Also, the factory backspacing is 10-1/8 inch. Looks like I'm onto plan B, widening the...
