So as some of you already know as soon as my current 33x12.5 r20 Nitto Mud Grapplers finally wear out I am going up to 35x12.5 r20's, and I have been planning on just staying with the Nitto Mud Grapplers, but these caught my eye:

Any personal opinion's or real world experience with Pit Bull tires?

It will be hard for my to sway from the Nitto's though, they still have plenty of tread left after 4 years and close to 60k miles, haha :-)

But the Pit Bull's look pretty sweet:

The pitbulls are a great offroad tire. On the other side, don't expect to get no where near that many miles out of them as daily driver tires. They just aren't made for road use. And they definately won't meet Riffs weight requirements! :) They are heavy.
They have also apparently added some sizes to their arsenal...they used to make nothing narrower than 13.5.

Be careful with those pitbulls, they'll turn on you.
