Is anyone running Mickey Thompsons Desert Claws? If so, how do they perform in the Northwest areas?

Thank You

It means they don't work well up here.

Cisco, on this board, runs the MT Claws (comp compound). Same as "desert"? They work well. But I don't think he'll be buying another set when those wear out. Why would you when there are BFG Krawlers (red) or Maxxis CC's or T's (stickies)?

Don't try to be different. There is a reason why specific products are used......or not. Just get some kind or Swamper if the "stickies" scare you.

By "Desert Claws" do you mean "Baja Claws"? Or is there a new tire?

I like my tires. By the time they wear out, there will be all kinds of new shoes to choose from.:;

I think you were refering to the baja claws. If you run on the road, I would stick with standards, swamper, mtr, mt

They are Baja Claws there is a set of 5 on C-list.
I saw a set of them on the trail today and I don't think I'll be getting them. They liked to fill up and not clean well from what I was told and saw.
