Some pics of the XL's on my Deuce, I think they look sweet!

I sandblasted and repainted all the wheels and rings, well worth the time I think.

I have not picked up my tires yet. One set is going on my M715 project, I might put a set on my M725. Now that I see them on the deuce I might just put a set on it.

Did you just use the stock rim's? I was thinking they were too wide to rune as duels but it looks really good.

Stock wheels...

Thanks to Lane, Citizensoldier, I saw some pics of his truck with them a while back.

Nice, thats a mean looking set up. Did you notice a different feel in the ride?

Looks great Ed!I am aware of the effort involved there,did you have to put yourself in traction after all that?

 

[Chevytruck]

how much did the whole set of tires cost?

I was lucky enough to find some local...

Lubricate liberally with Budweiser and Ibuprofen...

Much smoother....

Man, you have a whole motor pool there! Beautiful area too. So is the outside diameter a little bigger than the NDTs? Gain a little top speed?

 

[Bob H]

According to the spec sheet that I have, the 12.50's are about the same diameter as the 9.00-20's
The max speed rating on those 12.50's is 56mph

But they sure do look nice

Thanks Bob, do you have that spec sheet in electronic form or a link to it you could send to me?

I think the 900 / 20's are 38" and the 12.5's are 40"

These seem to be a bit taller than the NDT's

Awsome looking country, the truck is not bad either.

We just put on 1100x20's yesterday and there is a noticeable difference in the height of the truck. I'm excited to see if we can get any more speed out of it. I talked with a volunteer fire fighter the other day who said that his department had five deuces, all of which had 11.00x20's. He also said that they could run 68 mph.

Jim,
That is interesting. I just finished putting 11x20's on mine and took it for a spin with the GPS. It top out at 68 MPH also! My top with 9x20s was about 59 MPH. See you next week.
