Bajas Claws will outlast the ThornBirds by quite bit.
both are great but IMO the Baja Claw is better.

Ya I always liked the look of the Baja claws. Iwanted themin the worst way for my last truck but couldnt afford them! They will last alot loger than the thornburgs to. Do they come in a load range D though? Also the 35/12.50 would be a little taller and widder IMO. Might rub alot with the extra tread.

Baja Claws all the way. Every thornbird I've ever seen run cups out horribly. I had a set of baja claws on a jeep and the rode and worked great. Baja Claws are on my short list of tires when I replace the BFG KM2's that I have.
I had the Baja Claws on my truck the 315.75/16 and like them. They lasted me about 20,000 but I do a lot of huge burnouts. I am not easy on my tires.
I am now running a set of 315/75/16 Super Swamper SSR radial tires and I love them. They ride very nice and they wear good. I have about 10,00 on the tires and they still have a lot of thread left.
Do not get the Thornbirds they are garbage.
