IROK's or no?

I am getting ready to spend some Christmas money and I was thinking about going with a set of 39.5" IROK's. I have looked at specs and all but i was curious as to what people running the IROK's would say. They sound like a real good tire and are fairly cheap. Any first hand opinions would be appreciated.

should I go with them or stay with the ground hawgs? i know both are directional!

BTW.....hope everyone had an awesome Christmas and a happy New Year

I'm not convinced that they could hang with a Swamper in the mud, but they seem to do pretty well on the rocks. They won't even touch a Hawgs longevity on the streets.

you think the Hawgs will "out-mud" the Irok's?

If thats your biggest concern, stick with the hawgs. The iroks have a softer compound like the bogger and wouldn't last for squat on the road.
