So 2.2's are like "Tire Viagra?" I can understand that, some guy's need a little help "getting it up" on the course.

To me, the 1.9's were like Erectile Disfunction for men. They drive great but I felt I had to inject some testosterone back in my rig to treat it's STS

And hopefully Mr V's Home Depot Rig too
I might have a wraith by then.

Oh, hell, I guess I'm ready to play in the Wraith / Training Wheel class with ya'll...

Mickey Thompsons' baby! 4.75 inches of grippy goodness!
I like'em so much I bought another set yesterday.

Personally, that's as tall as I'll go. once you start hitting 5-5.25 size things start getting kinda goofy (IMHO)

Yup, the Baja Claws are a great tire, I love mine. They are pretty much close to the same dimensions as 2.2 Flat Irons.

Did you soften them up with diesel fuel or anything? We both checked them out and noticed how well they were hooking for the height

Nope, just broken-in on Folsom lake granite. Even run the "stock" foams, nothing special. They start to break into their "sweet spot" after the first few runs. Of course I run a really heavy truck, a lighter rig might need a different setup.
