Well actually, I had a set of the baja Claw radials on my old 4runner. Had them for 2 years and they had half life. I even drove to california and they drove fine. Now there was a bit more noise than I was used to, but then again I never had driving with mud tires period. And the old two-door 4runners didnt have much round noise protection at all. I finally had to get rid of them because I wore the front two to a bold on the insides due to my alignment all out of wack. Thats what I get for ignoring maintenance. But if you go with these tires, I recomment rotating them every 3K. I did and they rode and wore fine. Great in mud and rock BTW. Could air them down to 13 psi on 15x8 rim without poping beads off. But when they are that low, they handle quite differently on the road to the gas station to air up the tires again.
