The MT claws are meant more for sand than anything. They won't be that great on the mud and rocks, plus I've heard about balancing issues as well with those tires. I say stay away and save your money for some good tires.

i have claws and i love them, ive had them on since last october and no problems with them at all, not a lot of wear shown either. imo i can go quite a bit more places than my friends with just mud terrains and they clean really easy

They are OK tires, but it depends a lot on the terrain you are using them in. They offer very good forward traction in most situation... about the same as the average MT. However, they offer virtually no lateral traction due to the lug pattern. They are also a directional tire, so traction in reverse can be an issue at times. They don't wear well and they don't ride well on pavement. Balancing can (but isn't always) an issue. They are a great looking tire though.
All in all, they are OK if you aren't REALLY pushing your rig to it's limits and/or you don't do a lot of off camber stuff. But there are better tires out there.
