If they designed the lugs closed together, I'm sure it would last longer, but would sacrifice traction and cleanout in wet, sloppy terrain. I could easily be wrong, but I bet when Highlifter was designing this tire they wanted to get the lugs as far apart as possible to provide great mud traction and cleanout, but not too far out that it would cause a bumpy ride. Now the Radial laws are not designed that way. This in turns help even the pressure and spread the weight out on each lug. Next they are spaced fairly close together, so there are more lugs hitting the ground. Here are my thoughts on why it is-ġst off, you start with thick, solid lugs, that are almost and inch tall. It is said to be one of the best wearing tires out.
Lets take the Maxxis Bighorn, a very well respected, tried and true all terrain tire. Right now as wore down as my sipes are they still bite and grip on hardpack pretty good, mostly due to the flat, radial profile, which puts a big foot print on the ground. Thats not a bad thing though, because them being able to do that means they can get a better bite on slick rocks, and hardpack terrain. You can kinda wiggle them with your fingers. Lots of hardpack trails, rocks and a good bit of paved roads. BUT imo for how I ride and where and what I ride on, they have lasted me pretty good. I would say I've got around 1000 miles on my 28s. There is big talk of how they are wearing, so here are my thoughts. I bought the 28s last March, so I've had them a little over a year now. I put a low 300 miles on them when I went to the 28s. What do you think? I had planned on getting the 30's.Īs some of you know I was the 1st person to buy the 27" Radial Outlaws. Now if he had a Honda 300 we both know he could turn 32s completely stock.So does any one else think the radials are wearing fast? Ncmudman should have the most time on them. Most tires run small, especially those that came out of Mexico. Why steer him away from a 27" when he will be perfectly ok with it. I never said there would be no power loss, I said its not a factor. I've been a member over at Highlifter since 2000, had plenty of ATV's of all brands and plenty of tires of all brands Outlaws, Zillas, Gators, Bi/Tri's, Vamps, etc. Clutch work can get it back to "stock like" performance though. It's simple, albeit minor or major felt power loss depending on size and weight.
You can't increase the rotating mass and change the "gear ratio" without having an effect on "power loss". Go over to There is a whole section on tires or call Dan at highlifter. They seem ok to those that dont know any better or have any experience with other tires. Outlaw MSTs are the future for my other atv.ĭont waste your money on anything that says 'Lite'.
GORILLA SILVERBACK TIRES VS HIGHLIFTER OUTLAWS MODS
Like I said I run 27" tires, no mods to the tranny or the clutch and can still ride wheelies all day. A 26" tire is going to be maybe a 1/2" taller than a 25. Until you get above 28, this isnt a factor. People talk about weight and power loss blah blah blah. For whatever reason, they only make them in 27". I run 27" bi claw/tri claws on my Grizzly 660. The zillas are a soft tire, if you want that kind of tread, get the Mudzillas. I will be getting outlaw radials in the future I have the mst's on my ranger and they do pretty well.
