I love 'em. I ran a used set (off craigslist lol) for a year or so, then bought a new set. Amazing in snow and ice and rain, great on dirt, haven't done any rockcrawling yet and not into mud, but they're supposed to be great there too. They are heavy and often have balance issues, but they perform great and look sweet so it's not a bad tradeoff.

Yea im not complaining for new tires/wheels for just under $900. Thats on summit, if i could get them local for around the same, i would rather go local than on online. I might give my local 4wd shop a call and find out.

Love mine I have 33/12.5 15's and there amazing. Great on Ice, Snow, Sand and Mud. I have never had a tire grip so well on wet rock and there is less noise on road than the BFG MT's.

My tires have taken some heavy side wall abuse incliding a cut that is deep enough that any BFG or Pro Comp tire would have been dead. The Truxus MT is a beefy tire with out the on road draw backs of a TSL.

Can anyone comment on the life of the tire?

Ive heard as much as 40,000 miles but im kinda skeptical of that. Let me know if im wrong though!

As I said earlier, my friend andy's wore extremely quick. He went to the tsl radial (32x10.5 HAHA needed 3" of lift to fit them on his heep) and reports much better wear. As far as on road my tsl's are great, as long as you run 40+psi (interco says max 50).

Only seen one person running them. We were freewheelin in the north woods of Minnesota through about 2.5 feet of snow. I found out real quick that MTRs suck in deep snow and the trxus equiped 4Runner drove circles around me.

I'm looking at a used set of 31" Trxus M/T's vs. a used set of 31" Baja Claws. Both around the same price. I've got a friend who runs the trxus and loves them, I think they're pretty good also. The only downside to running on the road is how soft they are which is an extra benefit off road (where it counts!!). I don't know anyone who has run the Claws though. Does anyone have any input on the Mickey T Baja Claws vs. the Trxus M/Ts?
The runner is a weekend warrior and my fairly daily driver, however I'm more concerned with not getting the hook as often and the sound of humming tires on the pavement fills the void that my missing sterio has left!!

Thanks for any input!

Hey i just actually ordered a couple trxus mt's a few days ago. looking forward to getting them soon. I could only order two at a time though cause didn't have the money at once.

Ill be sure to comment on them. I also have a brand spanking new mickey t baja claw bias ply as a spare. personally i haven't seen either perform so i cannot comment, but they are both beefy looking!!!
