M939A2 with 395/85/20's

[FASTNOVA]

Has anyone here tried to put the Goodyear 395 s on their M939A2? If you have what did you like about them? How do they compare to the 14.00R20 ? I know they are 3 inches shorter, but does that really make a difference? I want to change out the tires on my truck and came across a good deal for the 395 s.

395s

I have ran both the 395s and 1400s on my M939A2 trucks. My heavy hauler still uses 395 XZLs because they have a weight rating of 12,300# per tire.

You will see a 4 mph change at the same rpm. Remember that there is a 3" delta but only 1.5" matters.

Here are some pics of my M923E3 with 395s and 1400s.

The XZL lug pattern works out great on the farm. They dig and clean well.

Same. Either 14.00s or 395s work great. Both have an aggressive tread. I have 1600s on my bobber and they are even more awesome!

Thanks guys.

Wehring looking at your pictures I noticed a few differences between your truck and my m925A2. Did your truck come with headlights mounted close to the bumper or is that something you did and is that the airfilter housing mounted below the muffler?

5 ton ESP

This is one of 12 trucks made for a 5 ton Extended Service Program. It has a 3126 Caterpillar and a 7 speed Allison (double Over Drive) with a push button shifter. It also has a single speed transfer case so it uses all 7 gears each time you stop. It hauls butt!

It is also for sale! I can drive it to LA next month for you...

I have done a search of M923E3 and can't find any info. Does it not have a spare?

 

[wehring]

M923e3

You will not find anything on it. It is basically an FMTV in M923 skin. The motor, trans and t-case is FMTV. The cab, axles and chassis is M923.

It does have a spare tire and carrier. It goes in the bed. I removed it for extra space but it goes with the truck.

they only remand 12 trucks? or have released only 12?

If it had a winch on it I would buy it.

That would be great! An m931/m932 with 395's is exactly want im looking for.

XML's or MV/t's?

 

[Derrickl112]

If you want to get it as low as possible, why dont you put the duals on it?

 

[Bolkbich]

Heres some pics of 1400s..1600s and 395's. Im not crazy for the look of duals on a 932 especially the front wheels. I think the 14-16's look best. The 395's look too small but thats just my opinion and you know what they say about opinions.

 

[Derrickl112]

Those are perfect. Thanks!

Bolkbich-
Good looking fleet you got there!!! What are the differences that YOU notice on the M931 running the 14.00's Vs. 16.00's. Just curious what your personal experience is with them. I know text book answers but am interested in your thoughts. Thanks in advance
