You will see a gret improvment over thebugs in the Laws. I used to get farther w/ my 26, than Robb did w/ his 27 bugs. Once he got the 27 Claws we were about even. Now that he has the 29.5s I'm lucky to make it through the ruts.
IMO, They will beat the person behind you to death in the sand, If you run much air pressure in them at all they will spin and throw sand. They are not bad for me in the trails, but we don't have a lot of "hard" trails around here, mostly sand, wet sand and loose dirt. (when you get out of the water that is)you will love them if you mud ride alot or ride on sand alot, but if you trail ride they will beat you to death
