Well probably mid summer my Baja claws will probably be down to belts. So im going to start saving for brand new tires. I definatly love the looks of my Baja claws and definatly want radials this time!

But anyone running any Procomp tires? These procomps are catching my eye..

Also these could be my next ones to, description says they are freakishly quiet on the road lol, that would be nice to not have a splitting headache after driving my truck 3 miles.. lmao

A little more pricey than the baja radials tho

Those are some nice looking tires man.

What ones do you guys suggest?

I've never been a fan of ProComp tires...and I've heard as of recently they have been having quality issues, ie blow outs, eggs, etc. I have had the TSL Radials and got right around 40k out of them. I like them, give you some distance for the street, and give you the capability off road. So I would recommend the TSL's.

I have to ask, what kind of miles did you get out of your Claw radials? I'm looking to get a set for my Bronco over the summer. Do you recommend them? What's the reason you're looking for the swap?

My buddy runs TSL SSRs on his truck. He's happy with them, but it's a "play" truck not a daily driver.

Personally...I hate driving on off-road type tires on-road. Call me a pansy if you want, but when I'm rolling down the interstate, I want smooth and quiet from my tires. (Keep in mind, though...I put down 500 mile days often enough to care about how I feel at the end of one). If I had a truck that I took off-roading but was also my DD, I'd probably have more than one set of mounted tires, to swap around depending on what I was doing.

I will vouch for the SSR's as well (note, they are different than the TSL Radial)...I've had 3 sets and gotten anywhere from 42-46,000 miles out of them. I like to consider SSR's as my 'all-terrain' tire. Get pretty good tire life and are better offroad than a M/T, but not quite as capable as a TSL. And the reverse is true when it comes to road manners and tread life.

Mr. Stroker · Feb 8, 2009

I really like the looks of the TSL.. Cheaper of the rest as well.

I have the Baja Bias claws. Owner before me put 1K road miles on them and ive put about 2 to 3K on myself and they are wearing quicker than id imagine. I might be able to get this summer with them, but i will be making 300 mile trips to the sand dunes quite often this summer. So im preparing and saving for some brand new tires in the meantime. These tires are very loud so its going to make driving 3 hours a joy lol
