To each his own but if you never wheel anywhere but URE, Tellico, KY, and a few other local places the Claws would be
. It is just a matter of what they were built for. Nothing was built for East Coast wheeling because this all started in So Cal. That is why every major companies are from there. All I will say is the Claw, Krawler, Xterrian were made for a purpose. Take a look at any competition in california and show me one driver running a TSL.
Larry Smith: I am guessing you have been to the western slick rock areas. it may work on the flatter terrians but you can not floor it up a slick rock with TSLs. You will be moving latteral and not forward. Watch any video of someone trying to do this and you will see. I have seen if first hand. I like TSL in URE they would do awesome but I dont think you guess are qualified to say the Claw is not an awesome tire UNLESS you have ran them.
