Mickey Thompson Radial Claws?

33 inch Mickey Thompson Radial Claws? Any opinions or comments? I'm thinking about fittin' them on a Tacoma and would love to hear anymore thoughts from everyone. The list is narrowed down to this, but still open to ideas.

BF Goodrich Mud Terrain T/A's
Bridgestone Dueler M/T's
Mickey Thompson Radial Claws

Also, Pro Comp X-Terrain's?


Wow I love you guys...

haven't heard many good reviews about radial claws. seems that they don't do all that well in any condition. i'd say stick to bfgs, dueler mts supposedly have terrible wet traction, and procomp xterrains wear out fast and have weak sidewalls

I've heard decent feedback on their traction from a few guys I know that have had them. The big complaint is the wear. Only about 15-18K miles I've been told.

mickey thompson is known for wearing so fast that they make super swampers look like they last forever. But i have to agree they have good traction and they look pretty good.

I found out the hard way I got a set of racing slicks/ Thornbirds on my 86 truck and I had a buddy that had a 97 4runner with the claws. One word.......slick.

Poor wear, poor lateral traction.
