Default Pit Bull Growlers

I have an 05 ram 1500 QCSB 4x4 and am going to put new tires with a lift on it. My original plan was toyo mt's, but I found something that's a little bit cooler.I am going to put a 2in level kit and 3in body lift on the truck after some engine mod's. Ithen wantto get the Pit Bull Growlers that are 35x14.5x17 (measure at 35.5x15.56) and mount them on 17x10 eagle alloy rims. If anyone else is running a set up that is like that please post pics. Also I would appreciate and info on the tire that can be provided from experience or stories from others (i.e treadlife expectance, performance on road/in mud, and noise levels). All and all it looks like a beastly tire to buy for just under $250.

I looked into those, but the prospect of having my truck riding on 15" wide tires that are mounted to 10" wide wheels scared the sh*t outta me.

From what I have heard theywork great offroad and are "okay" on the road - don't expect a whole lot of miles out of them -somewhere around 15-20K miles.

15-20K out of the all terrain growlers? or is that 15-20k out the the rockers or muddogs. The all terrains are 8ply and are supposed to ride like concrete. I would question the mileage on the rockers/muddogs, but I would be that you could get at least 40k out of the growlers if properly rotated.

and your basing this on...looks? Not trying to be a smart ***, i am really asking.

I know that as a whole, all pit pull tires are good off road tires, but they are soft, and dont wear for crap.
