that price isnt bad at all.. i dont have any experience with them but mickey thompson is a very well known company.. baja claws are probally close to being the best offroad tire.. i just got 4 35x12.5x15 inch Goodyear wrangler MTr's today.. 210 a peice at the store.. i got all 4 for 400 bucks only 300 miles on them so now i just need to wait for the 15x10 inch wheels and im set

for about 2 or so weeks.. its possible just need to be careful when hitting bumps on turns.. because they WILL rub.. but in 2 weeks im ordering a 3 inch body lift to solve that problem

so the claws are good tires? how long have u been riding them and how do they look?


how do they clean out do they clean well at low speeds or do you really have to get them turning?

yep claws are sweet...i've had mine on since like feb or jan and they dont seem to be wear too badly, considering what i put my truck through. they look cool, they fling mud like a ****, and they grab great.

crap, for $199 each for 37's, i might have to upgrade...

I love the claws, my truck is a pure street queen. And i have put roughly seven hundred miles on her in about a year, And i must say they dont show any wear at all. Good tires, very little road noise compared to other tires my size, handle good, They dont wander going 65- 70 down the highway, Highly recommend, When these do wear though and its time for them to be replaced, i think I am going with a bigger rim and The MTZs just becuase i like the look of the Mtzs with a big rim, The Claws dont look nearly as good with big rims.
