Default ATX Slabs question

I know many of you are running the ATX Slab bead locks. I know they are advised for Off Road use only. Been considering running them but I do a fair amount of road driving as well.
Not looking for someone to directly "throw themselves under the the proverbial bus" and say they recommend or advise them for "on" road use but was just looking to get some feedback on their "everyday" use for lack of a better term....lol

Don tell have Slabs specifically but I do run beadlocks on my DD. No issues. Maybe every now and again check the ring bolts for proper torque. Have no fear.

I run ATX slabs with 35 inch KM2s (soon to be 37 inch KO2s) and use it as a daily driver. I've driven to/from NC and MO at interstate speeds with no troubles. Had the slabs on for 20,000 miles now.

I drive daily on my Slabs daily and no issues. Just check the bolt torque at every oil change, or every trip offroad. The most important thing is a proper installation and to re-torque the bolts after driving the first 50 miles or so.

Have had them for 5 years. Had one bolt come a little loose but that is it. They are awesome both on and off road.

Personally, is spend the little bit extra for the Chamber Pro IIs. Slabs are way too common and not as pleasing to the eye. Plus, the dual valves of the Pro IIs is awesome to have if you wheel a lot.
