Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Yeah, that. Plus if one does blow out, I'm less likely to lose control.He has 4 more spares
Depends on the tire and the terrain, really. If you have something with a bottom (snowy road, shallow mud) then a thinner tire does find the bottom and grab. But in a situation where a bigger contact patch is desired (sand, soft soil with no base, etc), the wider tires rule. They're also better on the road. Keep in mind that I'm talking about Michelin XLs, here, not NDTs. NDTs aren't good for much of anything besides dry pavement!Duals have more traction?."hmmm.last time I checked you get less ground pressure with duals and they pack up with mud and snow between the duals resulting in little or no traction.I have run my truck with duals and singles and you couldn't pay me to go back to duals.night and day...singles win in almost every situation
when you replaced the shocks did that help with the bounce or did it stay the same. I'm thinking about droping my tire pressures to 50psi also. The toe in adjustment made a big difference. On rough narrow roads it still feels loose on the steering at 50mph or more.I have the 395's on mine and have been having issues with front end shimmy and bouncing at speeds above 40. I checked the drag link and its fully tightened. I then checked the shocks, they looked nice, but....after pulling them found they are shot. They do not respond and push back out. I changed them with a set of napa#66903's made by Monroe and the ride is so much better. They cost about $43 each at NAPA. This is the 3rd truck I have put them on and they have worked very well. I still have a few shimmy issues so I will check the tire pressure next and experiment with that. I can say that with the 395's it steers much better.
That could be road crown or tire ruts pulling the truck around. Since we're wider than most vehicles and don't have power steering, the effects of major road imperfections are amplified.On rough narrow roads it still feels loose on the steering at 50mph or more.
His avatar and signature say he has a bobber...I don't think 14.00's fit a 6 wheeled deuce.
