The MT Baja Claws are loud on the road. They get louder as they wear down. I had them on my TJ, I got the tires used from a friend. He got rid of them because they were to loud for him. They were good off-road. They were horrible in the rain and light snow. In deep snow they were fine.

Claws are also directional and that'll prevent you from doing a thorough rotation on them. Also, they are noisey but they are good on the trail.

And love em'. 75 percent street driving. Very little road noise and handle well in all weather conditions.
