11:00 x 20 NDT tires

[jimm1009]

Historically speaking NDT tires are not correct for the M35 series Deuce as they were not issued on Deuces from the factory.
What I am wondering is if anyone has actually installed the 11:00 x 20 NDT tires on their deuce (Not NDCC style) and noticed a difference in wet or dry performance and also in general off road conditions.
It would seem that the NDT would actually have a little better traction
since the tread is more parallel to the road over the NDCC tread with a curve in it.
I am asking for input from other owners who have done this or have knowledge of this swap as price wise they are about the same if you buy new tires.
Thanks,

My truck rides butter smooth now, and will cruise 60mph sustained. They are G177s, and they are on a lot of the 900 series trucks in service right now.

I dunno about the 11.00x20 NDTs... I'm running singled-out 11.00x20 NDCCs. I think they're about 6-and-1/2-dozen-the-other when it comes to traction.

If you're looking for more roadability while maintaining the stock look, I'd say go with the 11.00x20 NDCCs (most places incorrectly advertise them as NDTs, but they have the rounded corners so they're NDCCs). They can be run single or dualed in the rear, no problems.

Otherwise, I'd go with radials, either the T831 Firestones, Goodyear G177s, or Michelin 11.00x20 XLs...

I believe M34(gasser singled trucks, first ones made) came with 11-20's on them.

I have never seen a 11.00-20 NDT, only NDCC. 9.00-20's came in NDT during WWII.

Nice looking tires, Adam!

Yeah ol G177's are Pricey! around 500 just for the tire unless you can get them off a truck being parted out or from a fellow hobbyist. Im still wanting 10.

jimm , I have the same line of thought you do , it would seem to be a better tire for off road and on road than the NDCC 9.00 tire.

I got my last set of G177 for 40 each new. I will be making a tire run next month and will grab all the good stuff.

Well , ill take 10 at 100 each and let you make your profit lol.
