I have a buddy who runs them on a PSD and loves them. They ride well for the type of tire. I havent looked at his rims to see how much they had to add to balance them. They make a lot less noise than my Buckshots.....thats the only thing I don't like about them. Just like exahust and turbo whine, the louder the better

My brother is running them on his 04.5 CTD and like them. The only complaint he has and I agree is there NOISY! The ride good and suprisingly they wearing well.

Not personal experience, but I have alays heard that they are a pretty soft tire, not good for long life on pavment.

I have them on my 98 and there doing great! (305's) I have Wrangle MTR's on my wifes truck and I like the ride and handeling of the claws. I run alot of miles on the highway and there lasting great I have 38 thou and I would say that there going to go 45 - 50 thou. As far as noise look atum what do you think? The one thing I will say is there very stable at high speed I'm talkin 125mph lots of times these things are dead on. I will get another set. check out my pics.

Aren't the sidewalls on the baja claws weaker than most tires (i remember reading that a while ago on a jeep forum but it might not be true anymore).

I run studded snows in the winter. There's not an aggresive tire like the ones in this catagory that I would run in the winter. Mud tires just plain suck in the winter.
