Ah claws.... the tyres I love to hate.
I ran a set of fairly worn 35 12.5's on my G for about 12 months.
"right way round" they sucked off road. I couldn't grab edges anything like I could on my also worn Q78 swampers, and I pretty much hated them.
With the fronts swapped around (facing backwards) the ability to climb out of ruts and hold ledges improved out of site. with the chevron facing "backwards" the edge lugs bite into obstacles harder and pull the car onto them, whereas they want to try and slip off and forwards "right way round"
I never tried the rears back to front.
They were much noisier on he street with the fronts back to front though.
