Anyone running Pitbull Rockers?

I'm going up to 37x12.50's on 15" wheels when I do my SAS. I like my Kumhos and really wanted to get the KM2's but the biggest both come in on a 15" is 35's. I came across the Pitbull Rockers and they look awesome. Reviews on the site are great but I wanna hear from someone that actually has em on a daily driver. http://pitbulltires.com/rocker_radials.php

I go wheeling every weekend- sand, mud, crawlin.....rocks one day. I only drive about 20 miles a day to work total.

They're pretty darn pricey but usually you get what you pay for right? I can save a lot by just doing the 35" KM2's but don't wanna have em for a couple months and regret not getting 37's.

Opinions?

On a daily driver they will be gone faster than a snowcone given to a fat kid.

It's a trail tire only IMO and should be used as such. Great tires but not meant for the pavement.

they don't have a 37x12.50, not that it is a big deal to go to the 37x13.50

ocdropzone- they got 12.50's in radial http://www.4x4groupbuy.com/store/pit...5-p-11455.html but I wouldn't mind 13.50's at all

I understand that the bias ply would wear out quick on the street, what about the radial though? Isn't the radial a denser rubber, slightly better for pavement but not as good as the bias for crawling?

Like I said, the truck only sees 100mi a week on the street. I guess it's gonna come down to $ in the end. Rockers at $1400 a set in 37's or KM2's at $840 for the 35's. Now that I've actually written this I'm leaning more toward the KM's cosidering for about $1200 I'll have the full set and a spare with new wheel.

I hate making these decisions! I suck at this. If I get the 35's I'll have to deal with the "Why didn't I just get the 37's?"
