They are but for the coin I can buy two sets of TSLs and have change left over. I'm running MTZs and on special occasions TSLs (38) and both have plenty of tread so my wife ain't letting me spend anything on new tires.

Only issue I have with the new MT/R is the fact that it's directional. What happens when you have to back up? I ran my Xterrains on the front backward just for that reason but on the street they would almost hop and wore really fast that way. Baja Claws are useless in reverse as well.

they are not directional. they are asymmetrical. can run either way and have been tested that way.

Could have sworn I read somewhere they were but don't plan on buying any so don't matter. Don't want any more radials. Wish they made Krawlers in a 37 for a 15" wheel.

if you did read they were directional somewhere the people are wrong. asyemmetrical, the big lugs towards the outsides.

krawlers are a killer tire and SUPER heavy and work great! just trying to sell my crappy km2's now to buy a set of the kevlar mtr's

i have a brand new set of 33X13.5 LTB's sitting on brand new Cragar wheels, havent had a speck of dirt on them yet, but this weekend, it will be different. I just dont want to run them on my jeep becuase i actually have to drive it all the time and theyre bias tires, not to mention loud. Theyre more of a special occasion tire though. I just want something that looks nice and does decent in the mud and has good street manners. I really like the MTZs. Probably what ill end up with.
