I think you'll find these aren't very tall Redzok - one could even refer to them as being quite short
I think Luv_Mud's running 35 claws on his car - that's be more your deal i reckon
I quite like them .. they really suck in the wet on the road, but offroad they are pretty good .. They are not all that tall brand new they are slightly of 34inches tall (I mean very slightly) on 15x8's at 18psi.
They seem to grip pretty well in mud and rock etc ....
I would run them again ..
what other tyres have u run that u could compare against?
so i know how well they peform

33 bias ply swampers (around 1/2 an inch shorter) and 32 MT's ..
I actually like em better than the swampers they carcas is more compliant, adn they are better on dry stuff and I will be shot for this, but I rekion thtey are about the same in all but gumbo mud ..
The side biters work a treat in ruts and really do work well.
The MT's were friendly etc easy on the road and looked legal and were the best in the dry ... and belive it or not on slick greasy surfaces ... all the biting edges on them really helped them hook up
The claws are by far the best of the 3 in rocks (dont think they are as good as an MTR though) ..
Also the claws seem to hold the bead really well I run em at about 3 PSI and tend to hit stuff hard with only one slow leak due to mud in the bead .. I will be beadlocking them.

LJ Extreem has recently had this issue when putting MQ diffs under a suzuki. The solution he used was to have the axels extended on one side to centre the diff pumpkin a bit more allow the spring to line up with some clean axel housing
