I'm debating on putting Baja Claws or Baja MTZs on my 80 series. Any input from owners of these tires would be appreciated.
Thanks

But, the design of the tread gives it less "side traction" in off camber situations.
Less "side traction" than what? My personal experience with the Baja Claws seems to be different from yours. If they are going to be mainly trail tires, I've been happy with their performance. As I said earlier, they are not an ideal street tire. Rapid wear and noisy...
To each his own.
That is lateral traction you're talking about. It is inherent that a directional tire is somewhat lacking in this department. I think you'd need somthing really slick to notice it, such as wet slick rock or snow. My xterrains worked great in the snow, they just had to go way way down on psi.
I just ordered a set of MTZ's for my pickup over another set of directional's like the xterrains that are comming off. Also when my xterrains are done on my 'cruiser either SSR's radials are going on or MUCH larger iroks.
