Thanks for the heads up on the 37" Baja Claws Jim.

I'm actually buying 2 sets of tires. One set for street and then the 36" SXs for the beadlocks.

I think I'm kinda set on the 35" SSRs for street though.

If anyone has any input on any of these tires just post. I listen to all comments.

Yeah, I've got 35" Claws right now. They measure out at a little over 34" tall.

actually, i am not sure if my previous statement was true or not... about the 37s only being 35s.... but i remember hearing from rick that they werent too great (kicked butt in sand though) and also wear crummy (sraight and true, but not a lot of life [semi-expected] )but as i remember a lot of the magazines that tested them said that they werent all that great....... however, they do look awesome

Yeah wear sucks on the Baja Claws. Mine are about 6-7 months old and at about 50% tread left. Kinda shitty to me. Thats why I wanna go back to Super Swampers. My old 36" TSLs lasted a very long time and still had 70% left on them. Made good money off them though.:)
