Deuce highway radials size?

[nhdiesel]

For those who have experience with them, can anyone tell me the size and brand the military usually uses when they put highway radials on a Deuce? I'm not talking about the all-terrain Michelins, but the road tread tires like used on over the road trucks. Several in the last GL batch in Kentucky have them, including mine.

G177s I believe. 1100R20s

Most likely the G177s, but the use others as well, let me dig through the tire pile and find out.

I think the G177's are Good-Year, to answer the second part of your question.

AL you got a pile of tires? HMM

I just got back from my father's, and he happened to have a pair of the same tread tires that came on one of his Deuces, and they aren't the 177s. Now I forgot the number, of course, but you can see the tread pattern here:

And yes, his were 1100s, so that should make my trip back a bit smoother (and slightly quicker).

I've got a set just like those sitting next to my garage and now I am drawing a blank on the numbers...aren't they G286???

This truck had a new set of Goodyear 124's when I picked it up at the base. They are 9.00x20's.

I also run Michelin 1100R20 XZL's on a couple of my trucks since I got them home. They are great!

Those are the ones! That tread pattern looks like it would be a decent all-around tire. Not good for real off road, but should give some decent traction in snow, and be quiet and smooth on the highway. I can't wait to do the recovery to find out!
