obviously at least once a week.

cause the tire companies change their designs and compounds at least every 3 days, so we need to keep up to date here on outers ;)

If you are not playing in mud do not underestimate the MTR.

I run 35 mtrs. They are a great all rounder but as mentioned not so great in the mud. Having said that I dont think they are that much worse than any other mudder. I get to all the same places mates with bfgs get to.
My 2c.

p.s. Claws
its been done about 10 times in last 2 weeks, theres no need for a poll or to ask really..

also noting that most people who get claws are mentioning looks or bling which is code for small penis syndrome.
i hated the concept of claws.. i was the biggest basher of them when 45punkbus got them... but i'm a convert, they go off if you do mud stuff, drive nicely on roads... i don't have experience with the MTR's though. although i recon the MTR's look sweeter than the claws (claws made my truck look narrow too)... so it's definately not the bling factor here

but one issue i have with the claws is that their directional

Directional is not such an issue. When i ran them I just had a muddie as a spare so it didn't matter what side it went on. Simple solution.

I had MTR's then upgraded to radial claws. I have found that the claws are a better tyre then the MTR's and i mainly drive rock. So my vote is for the claws. But also i should mention that the MTR's where 33's and the claws are 35's so that could add to the diffrence i have experenced.

yeah i've got a set of 35 mtr's, unsually and maybe someone could answer this for me they're quieter than the 33's (what the).

yes the mtr's aint that crash hot in the mud, dont seem to throw it out aswell, but put em at 15psi and hit a rock shelf and just watch those tyres work like majic! (me fial engrish too roldIT) but i'm not a big mud man (neither are my parents when i leave a tonne out the front when i clean it off...)

There's plenty of people around my town (Seymour/Puckapunyal) that have $2k+ worth of "extreme tyres, so they can cut laps around town etc. Mainly the army guys cause none of us civilian guys can afford the $$$.

Can you guys give me an idea on price of 37X13.50R15 radial claws?? I know my local tyrepower guy really well, but just want to make sure he's not scewing me. I love it how they bring out their catalogues with the RRP prices, and the "Dealer Cost Price" (wank wank), and pretend their letting the customer REALLY know how much the tyres "cost".
