The internal ribbing of the Dirt Claws are made to prevent tire ballooning, and they do just that. In most circumstances that is. While in the air or when the truck is flipped over the tires do balloon, as most tires do. But, while doing general bashing and high-speed runs there was no ballooning.

In the mud these tires had a little trouble finding traction at times, as most tires will. They did a good job keeping the truck straight and helped keep sliding down. They performed a lot better than most tires would in mud. And a lot better than I had expected them to.

The grass was no problem for these tires. The grass that I ran in was fairly wet, and normally I am able to throw my Savage into drifts and powerslides; that's not going to happen with these tires. There is gobbs of traction no matter the condition of grass.

On the pavement these tires cornered great and delivered the power straight to the ground. They also supplied great stopping traction.

These tires are also considerably lighter than most tire set-ups.

Overall, if you want tires with an amazingly awsome amount of traction get a set of Dirt Claws!
