Don't get the baja claws if you are worried about wear.

NEITHER of those is going to do well in packed snow. As a matter of fact, they will be downright scary.

If you want something decent in snow, look for something with some siping. I would recommend the Trxus M/T

I've seen Baja Claws do alright in the snow, not great but better than I thought they might. I like something more AT than that myself. With smaller voids between the lugs, not so chunky. Trxus M/Ts would have the characteristics I look for definetly. I really love the tires I have on the front(had 4, 2 blewout)of my rig for snow, but I won't recommend them for ANYTHING else off-road. I hate them, so much I ain't gonna mention the name, damn good in the snow though, never got stuck once. Ahh what the hell...Wild Country TXR, but you didn't hear it from me.

I'd guess the goodyears for snow, but who knows.

Why not the Baja MTZ, I just picked up a set. The minor siping in them should help for what it's worth in the snow/ice

I run MTR's on my '91 and they have worked well for me in the snow. I wouldn't have expected it as they have no siping but I rarely need to use 4wd in the wintertime up here.

trying the side hill or anything else off camber will be down right scary with baja claws. going straight though snow with bc's might be okay but dont plan on turning or goign on hardpack. Mtr's are ok in snow but there are better choices liek mentioned above.

I had a set of siped 33x12.5 MTR's and they actually did pretty well in the snow. However I bought them already siped, so can't really compare to non-siped ones.

Lots of guys around here run the Trxus M/T's, and they do very well.

Siping will definately help. I agree that an all terrain type tire is probably better in the snow even though I love my MTR's

neither. get a separate set of snows if your main concern is snow traction. then get a set for when the snows gone. those should be the MT/R's...
