I agree. Both are great tires. I'd also add RC4WD Iroks to this list, but they wear much faster than the rest. Or at least they have in my experience.

I'm a 2.2 guy for the most part and love the HB Sedona. Tougher than the rover but still hook up on the rock and don't gum up much when muddy.

baja claws for this guy. im on my second set i wore the first ones almost bald. to be fair ive only tried the R40 bfg krawlers (terrible) and proline swampers (good all around tire but not a great crawler tire for me)

id probably like pretty much any tire in RC4WDs X2ss compound though. they wear pretty fast but the performance is worth $60 once every 6 months or so.

Have been running Krawler since last summer. Added a custom foam setup and man do they hook up. Right up there next to the BFGs are my very heavily worn 1.9 Rock beasts. Both are phenomenal tires for hardcore rock use

for 2.2 it's the TTC Baja Claws in X2ss compound. Fantastic tires. Once I wear them out I've got a set of the Radial Claws to really put through the paces.

for 1.9 it's been the Proline tsl-sx for years. Was the originals and now the XL. I finally grabbed a set of R35 Trepadors last fall and on my local testing spot they were incredible. Only got to test them once before the snow took over for the winter. I cannot wait to get more time on them.

I run 1.9 pit bull growlers and 1.9 pit bull rock beasts.
I really dont have enough crawling experience to say which I prefer.
