You may aswell go and buy some Thornbirds if you want that style of tyre.

Or maybe some mt117's, seriously though stick with either the claws, or just get some swamper sx's

I would buy them way before i wasted real money on claws!!!

they are tough!!! and the tread is there to be cut! they are a good tire IMO.

This is coming from someone that has ACTUALLY tried them (in humphrys old cruiser!!).

From what i've seen they can be a good tyre, have had 2 mates run them both 40" and didnt ever see them not go somewhere we did on swampers.

Both used them on road too and they drove well, and the 37" is way smaller than the 40 so should drive way better again.

As Dave mentioned they have plenty of room for some good cutting and i do think they work much better once this has been done, as without it i dont think they bite as well as a tsl.

I'm with Dave on running them before claws any day, but thats just me as i dont have a real high opinion of claws..
