Default Anybody seen the new Mickey Thompson Baja Claw TTC?

Dammit man!!! Nice looking tire! Sposed to be a more road-friendly, siped version of the Baja Claw.

I have got to get this damn surgery I need over and done with so I can get back to work full-time so I can afford this tire!

Even though my Cepek FCIIs show hardly any signs of wear at 31k miles, I may just have to pull 'em and sell them in favor of this tire. Limited sizes right now since they were just introduced, but they got my 35x12.5x17 covered...

I had a set of the original Baja Claws in 33" on a '94 Wrangler I had. The thing would go anywhere and the tire would just keep pullin'. Never saw a tire clean itself of that red, sticky Georgia clay mud better then the Claw. But it was just fair on pavement and down right squirrely on wet pavement.

I would love to be able to check this one out. It'll undoubtedly be a lot better on the road with the tread tamed down a little and the siping that the original Claw doesn't have...

Great lookin tire, well done MT!

Unfortunately my asphalt queen/soccer-duty doesn't rate such awesomeness. A/T or Trail tires are good enough for the desert trails and annual hunting trip.

That is a good looking tire. I too used to run Bajas on a furd I once had, let's just say the tires outlasted the truck.
