Default Rocker Owners-anybody running VEE Rubber 260x35x18?

I need a new rear tire for my rocker and usually go with the Metzler and love them, BUT I just saw an ad for a VEE Rubber 260x35x18. I wish that Metz made this (35) size. Is anybody running one of these on their Rocker?
Thanks much/Ride safe
Ps Oh and it costs $202.00...

I don't have that size but am Running Vee's on my ride. They don't seem to last quite as long as metzeler but the price is right.

I bet your right about not lasting as long, but I like the 35 height and I saw a picture of the tire and it looks pretty good mounted. I just wonder how safe they are?? I try to keep it under a 100 - 110 mph most of the time...LOL

I taken my bike to as fast as it will go with no problem with the Vee's. The tires will go as fast as the bike without issue.
