Have the ETs met their match with the IROKs?

Gents,
I cannot wait until X-mas for me to test out the 36" Iroks versus the 35" ETs I currently have (that is when the Iroks get to Lebanon).
So...do you guys think that the IROKs will pull the ETs from their throne?
Any real world testing?

These are 2 totally different tyres...
ET's are designed for mud and IROKS...well rock...

True, but the look VERY similar...I mean, the ETs look like TSLs on the center tread, and boggers on the outer...and that is what the IROKs look like...

I had an 36x12.5 Irok against the truckster the other day, and in person they are nothing like an ET. They are very sparcely knobbed tire, they look like they would be horn on rock, and probably not enough tread to be a top muddy, but they look horn...

If you have mainly rock then the IROK's should err rock. Excuse me for my ignorance I have a few Labanese friends but they don't wheel so couldn't help and most of the pictures here we get are of stuff blown up what is the wheeling like over there?

The whealing there is very nice and diverse. In a year you cover ANY terrain you can think about, which makes modifying our trucks VERY tough to cater to all the needs. I have 4 sets of tires for example, and will be adding 2 more (36SXs to replace the 32s, and 35STSs to replace the 31s BFG ATS).
