Default Anybody tried Hoosier radials on their C-3?

I just put new P295's on the rear,after not being able to find anything bigger,and what do you know,Hoosier has bigger! They have a street rod seriies radial that starts with a 29x12.50-15 and goes up from there. This tire measures 28.6 diameter,13.0 section width,and 10.0 at the tread. The P295's seem a bit short,measuring 26.7 diameter,12.15 section width,and 10.05 tread.Looks like a sweet fit,but I was wondering if anyone's tried them. They're a bit pricy at $220 a piece.
