For pure mud, outlaws will beat them every time. But you can't beat the all around performance of the claws. They pulled my bike threw 3ft deep of mud that my tires could not reach the bottom. I was draging the skid plate for about 50 ft in 1-2nd gear and the claws just cept on pulling my 650+ lb cat threw. And yet they ride AMAZINGLY well for a bad **** mud tire.

They do ride much better than would be expected. The narrow Bi-Claw front tires steer extremely well also. Night and day compared to the stock 26x10.5 Titans on my 500.

Thanks Boner, You see I'm getting to to run on my 2x4 only when I go looking for deep mud. Earlier this year when there was still mud around here, I borrowed a pair of tri-claw 27x12's. My 2x4 Rancher turned into a pretty impressive mud machine. So Since I can't get a 4x4 right now a set of mud tires for occasional use is all I need.
So if the Outlaws are that awesome that may just be the tire for me.

Outlaws have been having trouble with punctures I hear from other threads. I think Claws are a much better quality tire (rubber compound)

Only two guys were psoting regarding punctures. Neither was using any Slime and didn't know what they ran over.

Shouldn't have to use any Slime. I still say the Outlaws are a little cheaper cause of rubber content (quality)compared to the Claws.
