Can the a0 use the super singles? Any advantage to the duels vs single?

Can the a0 use the super singles? Any advantage to the duels vs single?
how are the duels in off road conditions or even snow etc?I switched to 3958520 goodyear mv/t. Top speed on my rig with the nhc250 is 64. Tires are rated for 68. That is the main reason I went with the goodyears and the aggressive off road tread.
Camian / fmtv wheels on front with run flats and combat wheels with no run flats on back.
Very pleased with the results so far and great traction this summer in Mississippi sandy red clay wet slop where I worked.
i was looking at a 923a0 and it still had the duels on there. Hadnt seen alot of the 923 with the duels though so wondered if there was a reason lol.In my opinion the g177's suck off road. I had better luck with the old NDT tires. I've been really happy with the michelin 395/85/r20 xml on our deuce. Haven't had the chance to off road the 5 ton with the 14.00x20 michelin xl tires yet. All of those will run better and wear better than the old NDT bias ply tires. I haven't had the chance to get a set of Goodyear's yet so I can't personally speak for then, but most seem to regard them well. It's also easier ( a relative term here ) and cheaper to single out a 939 over a deuce. Combat wheels for the 939's are cheaper most of the time than a3 wheels or adapter plates & MRAP wheels or recentered HEMTT wheels or custom wheels for a deuce.
98G, do you get any better performance with the 395's on the 5ton? The 14.00's on mine are at about half tread so I've been looking for the next set. As you said 14.00s are drying up. As I said, I don't like the g177's & I'm worried about the extra weight with moving to 16.00's. I haven't had the chance to talk to anyone who has run 395's on their 5ton.
I've been following the thread, nice truck rolling on G177s. You will not be disappointed. My 925 and 936 are both on G177s and they ride great. Plus the NHC250 is a proven powerplant, that truck will pull a house off the foundation. Make sure you get the operators manual and read it. Service and maintain your new acquisition and it will last forever. -and as for concerns with gas mileage, don't sweat it, they run on diesel fuel, and don't worry about mileage, worry about stopping distance. When you're ready to service it, upgrade the oil filter to a spin on filter adapter, I have them listed in the classified.well i just won this lol http://www.govplanet.com/jsp/s/item/596405?h=4-22/6-22 hopefully its not a giant turd
Thanks for letting me have just one lol.now I just gotta find somewhere to keep it. @cape did you paint yours? I'll probably do that to mine eventually.Congrats on the win Gray! I was on her too but had my fill of trucks today and let her go.
Did you take the stuff off like hood etc or just paint with it on?Hey gray, I am still in the process of painting mine. I have completed pretty much everything forward of the bed and a few other items, back bumpers, mud flaps, etc. Haven't had time to complete yet. You can see the difference in the color between the bed and cab if you look close. I used Home Depot Bahr premium ultra. So for so good I guess. Paint in the shade if you can. Dries too quick in the sun.
