Description: 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: Aggressive looks, good traction
Cons: noisy on road (wait, that's a good thing), wear quick

These tires are very aggressive. I only had to use 4 wheel drive twice. the first time was when I had the rear end sitting on the frame in some deep sand. The second time I was in a ditch and the rear tire came off the ground and the possiey track came unlocked. I have a 2001 dodge off road extended cab and I put 33/12.50/17 on my truck. it made it look a lot meaner. My truck is very heavy topping out over 6,000 pounds so I don't think they will wear good on the road but they ride real smooth on the road and they do have a growl to them but it makes it sound meaner coming down the road. I highly recommend these tires to any one that wants to cut donuts around the people that get stuck. - Alex Bozard Orangeburg, SC

Pros: Great in sand, mud rocks
Cons: loud on road

I have had 31*10.5 on my Jeep for about 6 months and have put on about 3,500 miles with no tread wear shown. This is a great all around tire, on the road it wears good but does make some noise. In snow and mud it does very well, but in sand it really shines going through deep sand in 2wd where other are in 4wd. Overall a great tire and when I finally wear through these I'll be purchasing my second set.

Pros: none
Cons: expensive waste of money

I would not recommend this tire at all i had a hole in 3 out of 4 tires one tire ripped open on the sidewall as i was driving it onto a car lift. They pull alright in the mud but disappointing on the street. Biggest waste of money I've spent for my truck. I have a 95 f150 on 35's

Pros: Real good in rain and mud
Cons:

315 75 r16 (35 x 8 ) on 2000 chev 1500 w/ 4" lift. Little noisy on the street, not bad though. Real good in rain and mud. Sand is not their strong point. Seem to wear good if rotated regularly.

Pros: tough tire
Cons: Road noise is an issue

This tire has pulled my 98 Wrangler thru some deep mud, loose sand, 15 inches of snow without hesitation. If you are looking for a tire that will go where you want this is the one. Road noise is an issue at any speed over 25 but at 40 my soft top is louder. Hard to beat for the money concidering what the big companies want for their premium off road tires. The bottom line; tough tire, moderate price, go almost anywhere tread, but like any tire they can not do everything.

Pros: Great in Sand
Cons:

Not a bad tire at all. I like the sidebiters nice for rocks. I have been through the Rubicon with both these and my SSRs. The SSRs did a lot better and I found myself winching a lot when running the big sluice and would not catch on the keeper. I would not recommend these tires for anything but sand and maybe rock. If you are looking for mud even the Toyos will outshine these. If your looking for sand you will not go wrong with Mickey Thompsons they are fantastic in sand, other than that stay away. This is from an experienced rider.

Pros: Good in Mud
Cons: suck on the road

I would only recommend these tires if you were building a mud truck you drive on the road occasionally. These tires suck on the road unless the road is dry. Then they are just noisy. The tires lasted halfway decent for the tread pattern but they got insanely loud. Even with good tread the tires would spin really easy in the rain on pavement. Not a good road tire.

Pros: Great tire
Cons:

I tried them on my 90 YJ (33x12.50-15) semi modified extreme class, liked them well enough to invest in a set of 37x1300-15 for my 84 CJ super modified. The 33's seem to work best at 15 lbs front @ 12 lbs rear. The 37's work best at 10 lbs front and rear on bead locks. There is no highway use at all. Thanks

Pros: Sticky Mickey
Cons:

I use the radial LT305/70R16. Sticky Mickey it's true. Never let air out for off road chores and never got stuck! After light rain when highways are slickest it still bites. This is a great tire. Downfalls are: noisy at freeway speed, low speed rumble/vibration and accellerated treadwear on pavement. Will use again very happy with traction but evaluating treadwear. Overveiw: grippy but I killed these tires in less than 30k. Tips: dive less agressive on pavement and more frequent tire rotations. Also rebalance at half life, tread this tall tends to feather. Test were conducted on a 2001 Chevy Siverado 2wd with a 3 inch lift by a ASE certfied master technician and General Motors certified master technician.
