We perform dynamical calculations of direct muon-transfer rates from thermalized muonic hydrogen isotopes to bare nuclei C$^{6+}$ and O$^{8+}$. For these three-body charge-transfer reactions with Coulomb interaction in the final state we use two-component integro-differential Faddeev-Hahn-type equations in configuration space using close-coupling approximation. To take into account the high polarizability of the muonic hydrogen due to the large charge of the incident nuclei, a polarization potential is included in the elastic channel. The large final-state Coulomb interaction is explicitly included in the transfer channel. The transfer rates so calculated are in good agreement with recent experiments.
