Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

I had the old style claws and loved them. Road noise wasn't terrible unless you fail to rotate them. Street traction was great, they were tough to turn over and held great for every launch at every stoplight. They lasted 36k on my jeep and then I put them on a full size truck and drove them for a year pulling heavy trailers so it ate them up.

Pictures.....well apparently I don't have any on my phone but they were great. I had them in 31's and was keeping up with guys on bigger tires. My buddy (pictured below...) had 35" claws and he was almost unstoppable on the trails- the claws just plain grab and move.


I loved them, absolutely loved them and would buy a second set without any hesitation.

Claws need to be rotated religiously. They cup REALLY bad if you don't.

Every 3000. Although if you live in the mountains with lots of corners, maybe a bit more often. A friend rotated his every 2500 and got pretty good life out of them.

Yeah, mine were great when I rotated at 3k, pulling it out to 6-8k was a bad choice. I ended up leaving them where they were and running them where they were.
