According to MT's website, they are a true 37" tire.

Mickey lies! My daughter has 35x13.5x15 Claws on her Toy and they only measure 33.5":eek: That's mounted with 30 psi and no vehicle weight.

I'd guess the 37" will also measure short:(

Are MT BC good tires? I don't really recall reading anything good about them. How are they on the road, rocks, mud?

I had Claws for awhile, and they worked awsome as far as traction in the rocks. I recently put swamper sx's on my rig, and can tell you that they do not grip nearly as well as the claws did.
forward or lateral traction. Kong's tested the new 37x13.50x15
at Moab last weekend, and he said he was very impressed. They measure 36.5".

There a very good tire! Ride great for a bias ply, great in the snow, good on the rocks and ok in the mud. We found that you really had to spin the Claws to clean the mud out.

I love my 35" bias claws! Keep them around 5-8 psi and they grip all day long. I think I like the fact that I got them new for $75 a tire better though :flipoff2:

I hope the 37's are softer than the other Claws... As per a Magazine; Claws were the hardest tire with a durometer rating of 58, MT/R's- 52, Swamper-54, BFG- 56.... I hope they work good, I really like them!

Radial or Bias? I have the Bias ply claws and they are soft compared to the BFG's and Swampers I have had in the past. I'd hate to run these on a daily driver.

Thanks,
I had a set of 33 Claws, good tire with the exception that they only lasted 6 months (daily driver). They were short also at 32". I now have a set of 35" AT`s for street duty and a lonely set of MRT`s awaiting new shoes for trail duty. Now if I can only decide on witch tire to get.
