395s WILL fit on a stock Deuce!!!

[gimpyrobb]

808, mine are on stock rims. They have worked fine. I am in the midst of adapting some hemtt rims to fit on the deuce so I can eliminate the steering arm rub on the driver's side front.

Could the OP or anyone else who has done this provide any info regarding power loss with the larger tires?
I am especially interested in how the truck performs when loaded.
I would like to put these on my truck, but I don't want to be going up hills in 1st gear with a load...

Thanks!

I have the 46" tires on my Deuce, I had turned up the pump one turn and installed a pyrometer before putting on the new tires.

I find that it is a little too high geared now to comfortable start in 2nd gear, but on the road the power seems the same. I still pull steep hills in southern Oregon at 30 MPH, and can go 65-70 MPH on the flats if I push it. I only get 5 MPG when I do that though.

Wow! Stock as in 900x20?! You need to use 1300/1400 tubes.

I have put these on a couple trucks and we use the 12.50 tubes. My tire guy says they will work fine. They are about $20 each where the 14.00's are like $50 each.

I bought 4 13.00 20 tubes, but forgot to ask what size of flap you guy's are using. Thanks, Mike

If you use stock rims you can use the flaps that come out of the 9" tires.

Tell me about it brother! I spent $400 on 7 tubes.

Trying to keep up with all these numbers has my head hurting . Is there somewhere that shows what tire sizes equals what tire diameter and width?

How much are 11.00x20s? I saw 9x20s on your site but my 5ton runs 11s stock, and there is no way I'm going down in size... 50mph top (I like to keep the tach down, having enough engine problems as it is) is bad enough!

I can't decide between throwing another set of stock 11x20s on it, or signing the contents of my wallet away for a set of 46" 395/85r20s and 10-hole rims to fit them on an M54A2. Fairly certain the 395s won't fit dualed on stock rims.

How much do you think shipping for 7 395s or 10 11x20s to 01605 would be?

 

[srodocker]

you carry 14.00x20's?

 

[treysoucie]

does the stock spare have to come off to install these tires?

 

[tm america]

No the spare can stay.I actually have 15.5 mounted and aired up in the stock spare location with minial mods to the tool box mount
