Kinda bummed. Just found out the tires won't be available until sometime in February. Guess I will be going to the Gulches with my old junk.

No thanks. I actually want good tires. It seems that pitbull changed manufacturers and production is just coming back online so there will be a delay. I can wait till Feb.

I strongly considered the Iroks, among others. With the Pitbull price of $295 vs. $336, plus the mass amount of folks who swear by them, I think I have to give them a try. It will be nice to see them side by side with Iroks though.
Talked the Pitbull the other day and there is a possibility that they may be available next week.

Measured the Bronco today. She peaks at 80".
My current 35" tires are measuring at approximately 33".
The 37x12.50R15 Pitbull Rockers I want measure at 37" on a 10" rim. My rims are 9" so there will be a slight difference.
With the added height of 2" my rig will still clear the garage door by 2"!!!
I am really happy it will be a good fit. I just hope the garage at my next place will yield the same results. I think I am being saved by my soft suspension. Though it is technically 5.5", it sits pretty low; more like a 3.5" in my opinion.

Most garages are minimum 7' standard (I used to install them when I graduated from Clemson years ago). You may be able to adjust the door to come up another 2-4" depending on the adjustments. Miy garage door opening is a standard 7' hi door, but the btm of the door was actually 80". There is some room for me to adjust it another 2" up. Ask any white guy, another 2 inches is a big deal!!! I'd rather hit the door when its up vs the exterior of the garage. I'm like you, I hope my bronco will fit once I get most everything done with my garage. If not it will stay out of the rain at least.
