Mickey Thompson Baja Claw Radial
The Baja Claw Radial is an extremely aggressive Mud Terrain tire not just in looks but also in performance. The massive diagonal lugs extent from center out and down around the sidewalls to provide excellent forward momentum through mud, sand and snow. Rock crawling is enhanced by the large grooves cut through the lugs, allowing the up to 6-ply design and construction to wrap around rocks like a glove especially when aired down to 10 psi or lower. Polyester and fiberglass along with the wrap-around tread design helps to make the Baja Claw one of the toughest Mud Terrain tires on the trail. Street manners are dependant on whether you choose the Bias Ply (referred to as the Mickey Thompson Competition Claw) or Radial design, however noise levels are are somewhat elevated in both construction types with the Bias designed primarily for the off-road. The Baja Claw is available in both Bias Ply (Mickey Thompson Competition Claw) and Radial designs for your preferred application. Sizes availability, 31" thru 37" in rim sizes of 15, 16, 16.5 and 17 inch wheels. The bias ply is available in 35x13.00-15 37x13.00-17

Pros:
|
Great for rock crawling
|
|
Cons:
|
Had them just under a year and they are worn out.
|
|
Bad in the snow, no traction at all. Loud on the road. I did love them at first but after the first 2 months when I needed my first balance it went down hill from there. I live in the mountains and regarding snow... NOT! I got stuck three times this winter.

I run 31 X 10.5 X 15's and have only had the opportunity to use them on snow and ice, besides the blacktop. I would occasionally shift out of 4 wheel and I could really tell the difference...these tires are the best I have ever found for use. I have recommended these to everyone...everyone I pass who has slid off the road. I have noticed a bit of a singing sound, but just makes them rock that much more.

I have been running 33x12.50x17s on a jk rubicon for about 20k miles. they have very little road noise at all (and considering the vehicle thats saying a lot. i wheel at an off road park in texas that is almost entirely red clay. they behave quite well in mud, on the wooded trails and better then moderate on rocks. the only place i have real issue was river sand. the real grainy sand you find at a river crossing. you can find your axles buried where guys on street tires just crossed. stay dry and these tires are great.

Pros:

Unbelievable Tread Life, Traction-Extreme
|
|
Cons:

MUST rotate at least every 5,000 miles....MUST !
|

I have 31x10.50's on an 01 Tacoma and i had never got over 12,000 miles on a set of tires before. Currently i have right over 29,000 on my baja claws and should get another 2 months or more out of them. i should get close to 33,000 out of this set. I have one tire that wore because of a missed rotation. These tires are not too loud and go unbelievably on/in mud, snow, ice, pavement.... the only problem i have had is when it is raining, it will not take turns well. Its the only time i have found these tires to slip. BUT, the will not hydroplane till over 3/4 wear.

I have 33x12.5 R15's (Baja Claw)on a 01 Jeep Wrangler 4.0L. The first thing I noticed when I left the tire shop was how quiet and smooth riding that these tires were on the road. I have always run aggressive mud terrains on my trucks and Jeeps, and all of these reviews that state how loud these tires are must be doing something wrong or are used to car tires. These were so quiet that I had a feeling that they weren't going to last long. Well, you know what they say about your first instinct.... I use my Wrangler as a daily driver, and beat the hell out of it when I can. My only 2 real complaints are the actual tread width and fast tread wear. For 12.5's the actual footprint is narrow, and Mine are shot after less than 15,000 miles. I don't want to hear any crap about rotation or tire pressure either, I'm anal about that. $850 a year will do that to you. These tires perform well in everything, but wore out way to fast for me to ever buy them again.

Pros:
|
great sidewall flex, great off-road tire
|
|
Cons:
|
directional, very noisey on pavement, wear fast, can't balance, tread "washes" badly
|
|
33x12.50/15 on Toy Tacoma. Tires make the whole truck shake at low speeds. basically a tractor tire made for some pavement use. Durable with great off road characteristics.

Pros:

Extremely Tough Tire
|
|
Cons:
|
Seeing them Wear out. Tread pattern changed. I had a better tread patern
|
|
I only owned them from half the tread life down to just slicks. I had the 33 13.50 on my 4runner and it was unstoppable. I think I had a Bias version of this tire not the (radial pictured above) as My Baja's had a solid tread pattern that didn't have the split treads in the center of the tire. They also had thicker and larger rim protection beads. Also My sidwalls where so thick I could run over anything in the woods I thought I was driving a log skidder. Anyway These tires were great in the mud. They were unbelivable in the sand. I didn't have to air down for any sand conditions but I did air down once or twice for fun and It was like driving on pavement. I had traction like crazy. I loved these tires. I replaced them with some Pro comps Extreme MT's and I wish now I could have bought the same Mickeys. But Don't see them that size no more. I think they changed the tread pattern too. Or I had a Off road version of this tire instead of the Radials.

I ran a set of 35s that were almost bald on my Toyota and my cousin has a set of 33s on his silverado. I ran them in the mud and loved them, even if they didnt have much tread. My cousin uses them mostly on the highway, and he'll agree with me saying once they get worn down they like to sing, but we love them singing. The tires will go most anywhere, just hope you dont have to go in reverse with the directional tread

Extremely weak sidewalls

Ran bias claws in the past, and couldn't harm them with the most extreme wheeling. Have went through 3 radials now in less than 1000 miles. Sidewalls have been cut all 3 times. Very thin and weak sidewalls.

Awesome for off-road use. Got me out of some deep stuff. Very loud on the road after some wear. Tracks very bad on the street. Actually jerked me into the opposite lane a few times.

Good tire, Great in the mud, they clean out well and sling mud everywhere. There is a lot of road noise and don't wear good on the road. I have to rotate them all the time. they seem to want to cup well atleast mine did. Great tire though, sometimes you just have to suck it up if you want a good tire

Incredible in the mud
|
|
Cons:

Wear, chunking, noise, driveability
|

35x12.5x15 Jeep Cherokee Sport, 6 inch ironrock lift. These tires are absolutely incredible in the mud. Not bad on the wooded trail either. This performance does come at a cost. They wear horribly, they loose chunks at a time if driven on the street very much. You can sell your radio because you won't hear it with these tires rolling. These do NOT load up, at least not in the types of soil we have in West Tennessee. No rocks yet but we are headed to the Superlift park in Arkansas in early June. I expect for them to perform decent on rocks. They balanced without problems but they don't drive very well. Very jittery but what do you expect with that much sidewall. I'm astounded at some of these reviews. What do you people expect from a set of mud tires/offroad tires? Generally you can't go from the trail to Watkins Glen. I prefer to keep this rig at 60 if we are on the highway. God forbid we ever have to avoid an accident with these tires. I'm an old guy (been driving for a while now) and these things make me nervous at highway speeds. Having said all of this I gave them a 10 because they will do exactly what they were made to do...GET MUD!

I live in S.E. Florida and have these on my 08 jeep JK. They've got about 20,000 miles on them and are 3/4 gone (not to bad). I use mostly street but do go off road a good bit. I'm in the Jeep club and have been in some very sticky, swampy, muddy stuff and these tires have never let me down!!! I'm the only one that has not gotten stuck in the group. If you can't get through forwards, you can sure back out of anything. The best off road tire bar none!!
