Title: Mickey Thompson Baja MTZ or Baja Claw TTC
Post by: Cannonballkev on July 28, 2014, 12:25:45 PM

Trying to narrow down some new tires for my Chevy 1500k truck,
Only on pavement 100 miles a month.
Both are about the same price, Baja Claw are directional
Baja MTZ are not.

Any opinions?  I really like the look of the Claws, but with them being directional make rotating an issue.

Thanks

I ran MTZ's on my TJ and they were a pretty good tire. 
Good road manners and pulled nice on the dirt.  They were not as good on the rocks as say a KM2 or the Goodyear MTR's.  i would say on the rocks the MTZ was average.

Will runs the Baja Claws and seems to love them. Maybe he can chime with some detail.

Baja claws are the tits. Mine have been nothing short of awesome for me. Awesome in every condition. As long as it is not a daily driver, I'd recommend them to anyone. Yes, I see you said you don't drive it on the road much, I was just making a point. As for rotation, front to back. No need for cross crossing non sense. Lol

Thanks for the input.  Hopefully I'll have them in the next couple of weeks.  I'll probably have more tire than my truck is capAble of going, but until I get a jeep, I'll just keep building what I have
