    Singleing Out M Series Vehicles

    when comparing dual 8" tires to one 16" tire on snow up to hub height, the ground pressure is equal as well as the actual footprint the only real benifit over the duals is the gap between creates a natural self cleaning lug, but in really deep snow over the hub height that gap can also be a...

    Singleing Out M Series Vehicles

    i wouldnt even put NDT's on my lawn tractor let alone a vehicle i intend to use on canadian roads, unless you modify the lugs of an NDT with a tire knife they are useless and pose a huge safety issue in snow, ice conditions or loss gravel. if you cut the lugs of the center line of the NDT to...

    Singleing Out M Series Vehicles

    M911 Repower posibility??

    no worries there i understand the TR of the M911 is around 40' while i do not forsee it as being an issue, most of the roads we will be running it on are private leaseholds and should a bit of room need to be made for turn around it can be made quickly. as i said i dont see it as beign a...

    availability of M911's or M1070

    yes they do require an over width permit to operate on the road with the outer rear duals on, as a commercial venture these trucks would not be operated on the road unless under contract to a client and the permit costs would be built into the cost billed to the client. as well the majority of...
