Hey guys, I'm gonna buy some muddies for my ute at xmas, but i'm just not sure which to go with.
I've narrowed down to mickey thompsons, but not I'm tossing up between the mtz and the claw.
I've heard alot of ppl get great klms on road with mtz's, has anyone got ratings on the claws?
Road noise? Handling on road? Or are they more a use off road only?
cheers
Lloyd

I hate the look of claws, not that it really matters i suppose. Friend has MTZ's on her hilux, only been on for a few months but she does a lot of road driving and they seem to be wearing well.
That said I've never owned either. But have Maxxis Bighorns and reccomend them highly.

As above, read through the tyre topics.
But Ive used Claws on the Lux, Im not a fan of them, they handle like crap onroad, dry or wet, they are ok off road, and are just as loud onroad as my Swampers are.
Ive heard alot of good things about the MTZs though.

Claws were OK for my zook, but anything heavier they are crap IMO.

The new TTC claws apparantly have addressed a lot off the issues that the old claws used too have.
