I have a set of 33x13.50/15 Baja Claws on my Dakota. Great Tire! Like
Jason says, they seem well mannered on the highway and aren't that noisy
either. Definitely less noise than the Dunlop Mud Rovers I had before. I
had Super Swampers on my old truck. They wore poorly, made a hell of a lot
of noise and rode even worse. IMHO, the Claws are a much better tire.

My buddy has the MT Baja Claw Radials on his lifted Toy. I was
very surprised at how well mannered they were on the highway.
They weren't even that noisy either, less so even than BFG Mud
Terrains. Definitely good tires if you can afford them.
