I don't. But they got pretty good reviews in a recent mud terrain tire shoot out/buyers guide issue of a magazine.

I think they look awesome. One draw back that I see is the weight. Doesn't seem many run them. Both a plus and a minus - meaning they are different but must be a reason!

Seems like no one carries them or stocks them? I was considering them along with a few others.

My local pitbull dealer says they only do one or two production runs a year. Guess it can make replacing a blown tire a painful experience.

That could definitely be a huge inconvenience. Awesome tires though.

I don't run them but a buddy of mine has 41.5 pit bull rockers on his truck. I've never seen it get stuck. Solid off road performance. And I met a guy with 40s on an ford excursion in a Walmart parking lot the other day who seemed to like his.
