TALK SHOP: Winter Wheels and Tires with Ultra, PIT BULL® and Pro Comp
Custom wheels can cost a small fortune. It’s time to pull the trigger on a set of winter wheels and tires to protect your expensive investment. “Winter conditions can damage a custom wheel from road hazard, salt or harsh de-icing chemicals. Any wheel that is chrome plated, PVD finished, fully polished or machined/milled should be pulled off the vehicle and stored in a dry place for the duration of the winter season,” said Marc Pugh, Marketing Director at Ultra Wheels. Lucky for you, both PIT BULL® and Pro Comp offer trusted winter wheels and tires with proven reliability and aesthetics to match.
PIT BULL® PBX™ A/T Hardcore™
The team stepped up to deliver a breath of fresh air to the all-terrain market in true PIT BULL® fashion. The A/T’s innovative design and hardcore performance offer drivers great handling both on and off road; it fills that void between mud terrain and all terrain with PIT BULL’s aggressive signature all over it. Not to mention, these tires are proudly made in the USA!

“Pit Bull used 3D, interlocking sipes instead of just straight sipes to resist tread deformation during cornering and keep the lugs from being torn off on the trail. The PBX tire also uses a tear-and chip-resistant tread compound that was borrowed from Pit Bull’s line of sled pulling tires, so you know that it is tough. The siping is designed to provide more biting edges in low traction situations like ice and snow, but also allows the tire to run cooler in all conditions. A cooler tire is a longer lasting tire.
Most tires have four rows of tread blocks; two outer and two inner. The PBS has six rows for more biting edges. The added voids provide circumferential groove channels to resist hydroplaning on wet roads. The three-ply radial sidewall on the PBX has a 10-ply rating and sidewall tattoos with Hawaiian words, the American flag and ‘Honor and Guts’ to pay homage to our veterans.”
Pro Comp A/T SPORT
The Pro Comp A/T Sport is the latest in a premium performance all-terrain tire surrounded with incredible off-road ruggedness and balanced with smooth on-road manners. It’s a popular OE replacement and plus sizing option because of its available 25 LT Metric and Flotation size offerings in 15”-20” wheel diameter and up to 37” in overall diameter.
