A 1979 ad from Honda, from their short lived 23"front wheel era.
Without mentioning the tire manufacturer, they are expounding the advantages of their new offroad "Claw Action" tire concepts. As far as I know the manufacturer was actually Bridgestone, and the tires failed to revolutionize offroad riding.
I put a 23 on my Husqvarna 430 back in the day. They did make for a smoother ride in the front end but they had a large gyroscope action that made quick tight turns impossible. Good for the Score Baja and such but not MX.
