I can't tell you any thing about baja belted hp tires but I have a set of radial M/T claws. From my own personal experience I know they will handle speeds of 100 mph no problem. They ride good once you get them rolling.

I have a set of the 36 14>50 on my blazer run it 70 every know and then 60 almost all the time have had it up to 80 but gears make it hard to go faster I think all tire manufatures dsay that for lyability reasons and bumper and lift laws so they can sell in places like CA easy. I have taken mine on the beach sevral times in NC and have got in the sand at my dads in Fla they did great just let a little air out if you get in any deep loos sand.

all those m/t tires seem to be a soft compound and dont wear well. for the money, they could last longer but if $$$ isnt a problem for you rock on, i know bfg a/t's wear well and do well on sand etc...
