Re: cool looking 4x4 tires

What about Mickey Thompson Baja Claws. Those tires
look sweet, and they say a 33x12.5 size, when aired
down to 12psi will have a 20" footprint. When I get
new tires, I am going to look into those. Not sure on
drivability. My BFG AT 32x11.5 are awesome though.
Grip is never a question off road, and performance is
good on road. I think once you start to get into the
super swampers and mickey thompson off road tires,
your on road driving performance is compromised
greatly. Just a thought
