There are also no siping in the tread blocks which does not help.

Those tires are no good for anything that i have ever seen. When we used to mud race a guy ran a set with every other bar cut out and they were marginal at best.

Seem to work the best when they are worn down, mine are siped by me. I run them on the road but my STS's work better all around for pulling. Around here a worn down claw was the tire of choice before the STS came out.

I would stick with your A/T's. The Crushers i am running on my truck were originally bought to run on my friends pulling truck that was a 700 hp d-max. He ran them about three times and gave up on them, they would'nt hook for $hit. They may be like the claws and work well when wore down but don't know for sure.

Also not to hijack the thread, are they A/Ts you're talking about BFG A/Ts? Because that's what I have because it is the tire of puller's choice around here, are they any good to you guys?

Most everyone around here runs the STS's.

Stay away from the crushers. I saw a guy last year who had a really nicely built truck with crushers and they gave him 3 tries and the farthest one was 3ft. Every other truck had a normal run. I felt bad for the guy.
