I was lookin at getting the mickey thompson baja claws. Has anyone run these, or does anyone know anything about them.

 

just run a "search"...should render you plenty of opnions and answer your questons.

Junk IMO, a buddy of mine ordered a set of 33's (actual size was more like 31's) for his 96 ford broco. Almost impossible to ballance, and they lasted about 6 mo. Not to mention they sucked off road.

thanks, for the info

 

looks like I might have to spend the extra money on some MTRs

 

could always look into interco LTBs. just about the cheapest tire out there, and they're holding up quite well on my pickup

 

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.

 

which ones are you looking at: Bias Ply or Radials?

 

are the radials any good?

 

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
here are some pics www.millerhouse.cjb.net
a friend of mine also runs them http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/340485

 

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.
