The MST's are smoother riding than the Claws though aren't they? They don't make the MST in a 14 " rim yet do they?

Because he doesn't have them. Read the reviews from people who have had both. Most, if not all say the mst is better. Myself, I like them both.

No 14" yet. No need if you ask me, unless you are going for a look. The mst has a strong enough sidewall where it doesn't matter. The claws may run a tad smoother because they are 4 ply. I think you would be happy with either of them. I would think the biclaw front would pull a little with the long lugs on them. I have always heard to run bearclaws front and triclaws back for best results. Not sure, never had biclaws.

I have read that the MST's don't do well in the sand they dig to much are the Claws the same way because they are so aggresssive?

I have already stated why I chose my tires. They were said to be the best all terrain tire in many threads and forums. I have yet to see anyone prove that wrong in any forum. If I wanted a mud tire strictly, I would have gotten something different. If I wanted a trail tire only, it would not be the mst. For a good mix of both, it is a great tire. Others are comparable, yes.

I have heard good and bad about all of the tires. The mst and claws have very few bad points I have heard though. The mst doesn't really like sand, but what mud tire does. Still way better than stock. Not sure about the claws, but the video I have seen, they aren't any better in sand. They are very close in alot of aspects. The claws are only 4 ply and I would bet the mst is more steady at speed. When the claws were made originally, the fastest 4x4 only went about 50 or so. Things have changed and things are updated now.

The MST'S ARE BUCU SMOOTHER and the tri claws lugged the crap out of my buddy's 650 ! Ate belts and rode like a mushy wobbler on hard pack . I think they're laying around somewhere as he won't even run them anymore . Slowed him down big time too . THEY ARE A PURE MUD TIRE AND THAT'S IT .
