has anyone used M.T. Baja claws?

[bigtruck311]

i am looking for some new tires for my lifted beast, i was looking at 395/70 R16 (38/15.5/16) Mickey Thompson Baja Claws to be my next set of tires, have any one of you guys used these tires on any vehicle? if so how did they wear? life expectancy? road manners? how loud on pavement? on a 1-5 rating in mud, sand, rock, and (gasp) pavement, any info would be most helpfull i hate to spend $1,400 on a set of tires and then not like the way they drive (been there done that) thanks for any replies

NEVER RAN THE CLAWS BUT I HAD A SET OF BAJA RADIAL MTX'S HAVE HAD THEM FOR 58,000 STILL LOOK PRETTY GOOD I MISSED A FEW ROTATIONS BUT THEY WORE EXCELLENT AND I WOULD RECCOMEND THEM TO ANYONE. I KNOW THEY ARE QUITE DIFFERENT FROM THE CLAWS BUT THIS MAY GIVE YOU A LITTLE INFO ON MICKEY TIRES ALLTOGETHER. HOPE THIS HELPS......

If you go by the test in the link, the SSR's look like winners to me. I looked on www.intercotire.com and they do make it in a 38/15.50/16 just to let you know.

i like the ssr good looking tire too, i have been running interco tires for awile, and they just seem to wear real quick i think it is the rubber they use real soft or something thats why i was looking for something from a diffrent manufactuar, thanks thou

have you checked out the parnelli jones dirt grip tires? They look pretty good to me and come in the size you're after. Here's the link:

I have a set of the Mickey Thompson Baja Claw Rardials 33x13.5/18 and I love them. Had them for about 1000 miles and now I have to get rid of since I am moving. I dont want to go back to factory tires.

hey bgoff you said that you had the baja claw radials correct, i was thinking about getting those tires but i have heard that they are like driving with bricks on your tires...just wondering if where i heard this was confusing the baja claw radials with the regular baja claws???

[bgoff]

I don't think that the radials I have are bad at all. I've had mud tires and buckshot mudders before and these are not bad at all. What size you looking for? I'm needing to get rid of mine cause of moving. I aldo have the wheels to go with them. Look at my gallery under bgofftruckpics.

By the way, I got the whole set from 4wheelparts. That store is great.
