I cant make up my mind. For sure im going with 27's but ive heard the Outlaws are VERY hard on bikes and ride very rough. They wear down the bike big time, but they pull like no other. I guess theyre a STRICTLY mud tire. The Vamps ive heard are lighter than Outlaws and pull just as good and are not as hard in the mud. I do ride trails to get to the mud and they're more like mud holes. Im just scared of getting stuck with 589 caliber tires again. THe 589's are great, just not for the mud. What do you all think?
Vamps or Outlaws?

Vamps seem like the good choice for those who dont spend ALL their time in mud right?
Another question is where do you get the Vamps the cheapest? Cheapest ive found them is $86.95 and $76.95 for the 27x10 and 27x12 respectively. ~$390 shipped.

ALL BIG AGGRESSIVE TIRES ARE GONNA TAKE THERE TOLL ON A BIKE EVENTUALLY, SOME MORE THAN OTHERS. I HAVE NEVER RIDDEN VAMPS BUT I WOULD SAY THEY ARE GONNA BE JUST AS BAD ON YOUR BIKE AS THE LAWS ARE, YOU CAN GET OUTLAWS CHEAPER THEN VAMPS RIGHT NOW AT HL 10% + 10 ADDITIONAL % IF PRO STAFF MEMBER. SO YOU MIGHT WANNA THINK ABOUT THAT ALSO.
Hey guys i got one more question. I got my order on hold for this! Im going Vamps 27x10x12 and 27x12x12. Seeing as the Vampire 27x10's run small, should i go 27x12 all the way around? What are some cons to this setup? I am running a Perfex lift kit and HL lift springs. Im also on my stock rubi wheels. Would i have to go with a 1" spacer?

What about 27" Bi/Tri-Claws. I love them and they ride great. They have held up awesome for me. Have a set that will sell for $300. plus shipping.
I was told that Vamps and Claws perform about the same, advantage going to Claws. Only tire in size class to beat Claws were the Laws.

Eric, thanks for the offer, but ive heard the opposite. Ive heard Outlaws, Vamps, then the Bi/Tri's. Its all up to personal preference i guess. Im pretty much sold on the Vamps and for $370 shipped. Theyre a good deal. Just need to decide on the size!
I would do Dano's setup.
27's in the rear and 28's in the front.
The EDLS run smaller. Run those with 2 psi and put 5-7 in the rears of your 27's and they should measure out the same. That would be one heck of a setup and ive seen it in person (Dano rips some crap up.)

Extra Deep Lug - They have a 2.5 in lug. They will pull great, but you have to use throttle control, or you will dig yourself down or even break something.
As far as amps running small. I thinck they are small in heighth not width. If you look at Dano's tires the tire carcasses look to be the same heighth and only the tread depth is different. His combo will hold its own w/ any combo out there.
