Default What pressures are you running in your claws?
I have just got myself some 35x12.5 claws, after i got them fit i went for a little bit of a play, i dropped the pressures down the 14psi and headed into the bush, they seemed to lack the grip that my stt's provided. I ran my stt's at 14 - 15psi and they were fantastic. I know that Mr_Super_Star ran his 33" claws @ 8psi and man did those tyres grip, so i am assuming it is just a pressure thing. So guys and gals, save me some time with trial and error and let me know what pressures you run.

How much stiffer is the sidewall?

My mate has to run his 34 inch JT2's at 5psi as the side wall is just so stiff...

the stt sidewall seems thicker than that of the claws, they are bagging out well at 14psi but they don't grip anything like the stt's did.
