First time out with the Mickey Thompson Baja Claws

I must say these tires are amazing! They got me up steep muddy slopes that my 57 CJ could not with the same 31x10.5 BFG MTs. Also, they are incredibly quiet on the road, about half the volume of the BFG MTs, I was amazed. Although as i slow down through the 5mph range they shudder like the an earthquake. Sorry all the mud runs are videos, I might put them up on You tube sometime if you would like.

Looks like you were runnin' 'em pretty full. How many psi? I geuss the sidewalls will need time to get broken in. If you were runnin' full pressure, wait till you try about 5-10lbs. That oughta make those claws grab somethin' fierce . They look it regardless.

yeah no air compressor out there in the boondocks so i kept them at about 40psi, same as the road trip, I would like to have tried them aired down, maybe do some time trials, unfortunately I was also there to saw lumber and clear trails, *work stuff*

31x10.5s usually call for 30 psi all around. Isn't it a rough ride on 40? but they look sweet!
