kool kool. where did you buy yours from?
I'm considering new tires. I just put a set of claws together past 2months and been running them and they vibe bad up front when I slow down to 20mph and below and its making stuff rattle, its pissing me off lol.

Dont straight out blame the tires. Have they been broken down latley?

Are your wheels bent/off balance?

Mine are the smoothest aggressive tire ive ever owned. I will literally never buy anything but baja claws again. Period

i've heard that the way baja's are designed they ride pretty good on the road. i've got a buddy who runs them and they didn't last long at all but then again, he didn't ever rotate them. ever.

his is probably cupped or out of balance.

I've had them rebalanced but the tread is already worn a bit unevenlly. its has only really gotten worse since I'ive had them. but idk it could be just one tire causing it all.

Ive had mine almost two years now and they still have a ton of tread. Cuts and chunks here and there but nothing major.

Ive had zero issues and don't rotate them often.

Im gonna agree with you that they are cupped

I installed my new cb and antenna while taking a break from studying for my circuits exam. I will try to get it all wired up and tuned tomorrow or the next day.
