Bias Claw - wear rate

Post by dogbreath_48 »

I know you'll all say to search, but i did, and i suck at the search.

So hoping someone can tell me how quickly a 37" bias claw will wear - i.e. quicker than a simex? Similar to a radial claw? They'll be going on a diesel Troopy.

Also does anyone know the new price? Can't find any details of any 37" bias claw on the web so i assume they're discontinued?

Cheers,

Stu :)

On road wear rate is not good. Freind had them on zook (much lighter vehicle) and they wore pretty quickly.
Kind Regards,

I was referring to on-road wear, but if they chip/tear quickly in the bush i'd like to know too!

Not good compared to an AT, a radial MT, a bias ply simex/interco?

Would be really interested in a comparison from someone who has run the bias claw as well as another well known tyre.

I suppose all i really want to know is whether they'll wear quicker than my 34x11.5-16" Simex JT's.

I don't know whether they're the same compound as the radial - hence the question.

I know they're not legal.

they are a softer compound then the radial and arnet very nice to drive on the road, they tram track quite bad. and they will wear very quickly

different compound to radial, will wear quicker, smaller lugs than the radial also. it depends how you drive and hp etc how quick they wear. They are road legal. bias is legal. the diameter is the only concern. they are a lot more slippery onroad than the radial - especially in the wet.

cheers bru

EDIT: THEY HAVE BEEN DISCONTINUED! I had to get ryano to organise a s/h spare as there were no new ones left.

I now run the 37 claws in comps.there great offroad so i never run them on the road..
Just sold my 35 claws after 4 years of abuse(still 50-60% left)
I did drive them a bit on the road and they are not very good on road.(for wear and hard to handle)
these are a tough offroad tyre.
