If so,
How much power did they suck away and how much of the sporty feel did they take away ?

 

I have the 26" Bearclaws. They are pretty heavy. You can still slide with ease and maintain a sporty feel. If you are looking for a 50/50 tire you may want to look at the Outlaw MST. They are expensive compared to the Bearclaw, but they are lighter and most say they like them. Dont get me wrong, I like mine, but they do rob power being so heavy. If you get them you can use their weight as an excuse to need more power mods. hehe
