My brother had some Mickey Thompson baja claws on his Duramax size 285-75-r16 but now he's gonna be a daddy ( having twin boys!!) so he's selling the truck and he gave me the tires, but a know it all friend of mine says the baja claws are bad for the hub bearings on the trucks because the vibration from the tires on the highway. As anyone heard of this before?

 

youll be fine. all mud tires cause vibration. tell your friend to zip it.

 

Your friend is misleading you. I have ran some very aggressive tires on my truck and don't feel anything, now if the tires are cupped that's a different story. Get over that size of tire and yes front end parts will wear out a little faster not much but a little.

 

You will be fine.. It isnt so much as the tire that wears stuff out faster its more dependent on the backspacing and offset of the rims that will cause you big headaches if you dont pick the right ones.
