1400-20 Nato tread installed

[blmyachtsales]

Figured I'd share some pics of my 813A1 with 1400-20 Nato tread 18 ply tires and combat Rims. Bought them from Vintage Iron In MA who installed them, these guys were great to work with.

Those tires look good on your truck. How do they run on the road? Any shakes or wobbles?

Looks great!

I have always loved these "Continental" tread parttern tyres, treaded bar gips - best of both worlds!
But has anyone else tried a Gooble search for "Vintage" "Iron""MA" or even "Vintage Iron Truck parts"!!!! Hmmmmmpf! so, give us a clue re their contact please...

Truck and tires look really nice together, good job.

Love the truck - tire combination! If you don't mind me asking, what did the tires cost?

Thanks Adam for posting up the pictures. Your truck looks great!

I had these tires on my M813 for the COMVEC show last month. I put about 700 miles on them. They ride great! I like them better than my Michelin 1600R20s. Glad to see they went to a good home. I have more of these listed for sale here on SS classifieds.

Call Matt, +1 (617) 650-2108,
Tires, wheels, lugs, correct valve stems $2500 mounted, he cleaned the mounting surfaces and had done some work on the wheels as well. I left the old 1200s with him. He did a basic maintenance / safety check. I will be going back when I save some cash to fix a few things he found (rear track arm bushings are bad).

I am running 14.00x20 XL's, and I am a bit concerned about the age of my current tires, as well as their potential durability at highway speed.

How do these tires compare, at least as far as performance on the road, and also speed rating?

 

[Vintage iron]

These tires are brand new and ride great at all speeds. I had them going 65mph on my trip to Conn.

These tires are brand new and ride great at all speeds. I had them going 65mph on my trip to Conn.[/QUOTE I would like the have wider and taller tires on my 915 the 9 20.5 jest don't fill the fenders well I'll also need taller tires on the rear, in out fitting this truck like this .Will I have higher top speed? and what will happen to the low end Power?

 

[blmyachtsales]

Danl, yes you will have a higher top speed, going from 11-20 to 14-20 I get about a 15% increase in speed at any given rpm (what was 47mph is now 55mph). Their is a power loss but it is minimal and I only notice it on long steep hills in high gear where the truck will actually slow down. Around town the driving is much more pleasant. Remember I have a 813 and had 11-20 so your 9-20.5 will be a bigger jump. Good luck

 

[Riftweaver]

Excellent upgrade! I like the way they fill up the fender wells better!

Thanks guys wish list add ons

I was getting 65 mph when my m813 had them on it. Remember the tires will throw your speedometer off. I got my speed calculation from a app on my iPhone. 63 is a nice cruising speed.
