Two things they are not radials and they are more mud orientated with 1.19" tall lugs once there over 25".
They only vibrate at slow speeds on hard packed, once you get the speed up they smoothen out even on hard packed.
Slow on soft dirt is comfortable.
I chose them because they are 6 ply and the lightest mud tire made. The 26" weigh the same or less then most 25" tires.
Here is a good site for all tire specs. http://www.mud-throwers.com/atv_mud_tires
I just focused on "lug height" and "tire weight" and "price" and Maxxis Zillas had all 3.
Here is a example. Both 6ply.
XTR 26x11-12, 32lbs 1.12" lug $150
Zillas 26x11-12, 23.3lbs 1.19"lug $110

A 27x11-12 Zilla weighs the same 27lbs as a much smaller and narrower 25x10-12 Mudlite XTR radial.
Its crazy.
Outlaws are 100% hard core mud tires, Maxxis competitions for those is the "MudZilla" not to be mistaken with Zilla.
With 1.5" lugs you will vibrate your filling out of your teeth on any hard packed trails.LOL

One down side to Radials is weight.

Sorry man. Did not know they made shorter lugged non mud monster Outlaws now.
OK looked it up. The 27 Rears are 36lbs and the 28s are almost 40lbs. The 800 has a lot of power but their CVs and axles are not stronger then any other ATV. Same drive train as the 500 outlander uses.
If you go to a hard core Mud site like Highlifter they most all add clutch kits and replace the stock axle/ CVs (after they break) with stronger Gorilla aftermarkets. Its not just put on heavy 28s and off you go on your merry way. Unless you stay on level ground and go around the goo holes.
All the power in the world will not help if the clutch is not setup for 28" 39lbs tires.
I can smell the belt from here.
Buy the lightest Rims you can find to help out. A fellow 800 outlander with 28" 27lb Zilla will smoke you on acceration and in the mud all for $80 per tire less and need to change out CVs much less without possibly a clutch kit job.
Just saying "Man".

Yeah, I'm aware of this man. I don't wanna be the fastest, but still fast.
I've considered getting aftermarker axles if I go that route(if I get the Outlaw Radials), what do you guys prefer HL, Gorilla, Titan or who else for axles?
I do all types of terrain, riding.
