We got it pumped up before it had a chance to come all the way off. The next time (still on 27s) I started riding and my brother noticed that a front tire was starting to come off. Once I got it back on the rim and aired it back up it was fine. These tires seemingly can't be ran that low. When my cousin mounted them he only pumped them up to around 10lbs or so, so when I got home and took it for a spin I aired them down to 4psi, which is what I was used to running on my MSTs. I have had this happen 3 times-ġst time was right afer I got my 27s mounted. Next, another topic that has rose up is them popping off the rim. Plus I'm considering once they do wear down to a smooth lug to get a tire groover and grove some sipes in the lugs for so grip. So to me lets say the radial laws are the same tread compound, meaning it is some thick, stiff tread, I still will get close to 3000 miles out of them as they sit right now, meaning I may get 4000+ miles out of them. I had 2400 miles on my MSTs on my 450 kodiak, and the rears were only half wore out. Plus, once the solid lug is there I believe it won't go anywhere for a while. Some may say they simply look like wore down outlaws. Once I'm down to a smooth solid lug, it wil still be right around an inch tall, just as tall as MSTs are brand new. All my thought could all be wrong, but they are just my opinions. Also, if Higlhifter designed the Radial Law like the regular law as far as siping, I bet it would last longer, but would sacrifice traction on hardpack and slick conditions.īy no means am I trying to dig into what Highlifter did when designing this tire. I'm sure they took lessons from the MST their wide tires were spaced well enough to clean out good, much better than the skinny MSTs. 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. So does any one else think the radials are wearing fast? Ncmudman should have the most time on them.
