I absolutely love the new mt/rs tread, but it's all opinions, but they just seemed perfect for wat you wanted. It is actually challenging to find negative things said about them. It's your jeep man, you can put whatever tires you would like on it. Except for thornbirds as they are the most worthless tire that has ever been created

My old style Mt/r's do great great, and tough as hell. maxxis bighorns are very similar, like guard dogs.

Thanks man and how dare you talk bad about the all mighty thornbirds.....lol I cant even say that with a straight face haha I love the look of those tires but they suck in everything except for when it come to sand I here they are pretty good. Just had to get tires today other wise I woulda waited and gone with a better tire. Needless to say these tires will be street use and I will be getting a good set of off road tires. So I am still very interested in every ones opinions.

Ya they kinda are but Iv heard ppl say that they slip belts easily. Any one have any experience with the treadright guard dogs? Are they worth the money? Money is no issue for play tires for me now that I got a cheap set of street tires.

The only thing I don't like about the Baja claws is they vibrate alot. They are quiet though for what they are.. And they look great. I'm liking them so far. I dd my jeep too...

Is it just the tread blocks are so big that they cause the vibrations? And good to know you like them . Im debating between these, the treadright guard dogs and TSLs or possibly going to a 16in rim and running the fierce attitudes

My Baja Claws didnt vibrate at all. Rode smooth on the road, I balanced them with airsoft bbs.
I loved mine. They suck in mud, but pretty good everywhere else.
The Guard Dogs are good tires too, but still, horrible in mud. The tread doesn't clean out. I'll probably put the Guard Dogs on mine when I go to 31's though, unless I can afford TSLs. Depends on my financial situation when I need tires.

It has nothing to do with balance. When I come to a stop is where you feel them. I didn't mean when I was at speed. With the tread the Baja claws have there isn't much you can do about it. I embrace it

Maybe daily driving on Boggers for 3 years before getting my Claws numbed me to any vibration
I liked the Claws though, good tires.

This is my first experience with a real tire... Always had hand me down all terrains before this. It definitely takes some getting used to but I like it. My. Buddy had a bronco on buggers. That thing was loud as hell lol. The claws are surprisingly quiet for what they are..
