    So, I got tired of these hard riding bias ply MT Baja Claws and decided to cut em up!

    252 cuts per tire, 1008 total and 8lbs. of weight loss.
    I just want to see how well they'll do in the snow, they won't be used on rock or mud per se.

    Interesting . How is the stability while driving? How hard was it to balance them? I do like the look of the tire.

    So far I've not noticed any negative affect while driving. They are much quieter of course. I like the look too, but I'm still itching to get em in the white stuff and will post results. Been too busy to go up lately! :-(
    Oh and I haven't had to rebalance, yet anyway.

    Siping helps a great deal in the snow and wet conditions. I bought a tire groover years ago. It's a lot of work. Yours look good.
