Anyone have any pics of a side-by-side comparison of a deuce with stock 9.00x20 tires on it, versus the bigger 11.00x20 tires? If not a side-by-side, then perhaps just a couple different shots showing the comparison....

The guy I share my shop with put 1100x20's on his deuce, dualled on the stock rims. He has had no rubbing/touching issues (we checked carefully) including loaded, BUT he is using NDT's not the radials. Radials are apparently much 'bulgier'.
The most interesting side effect was that the truck became easier to steer at low speed, logic would indicate the opposite was more likely.

After putting 11.00x20s on my deuce I also noticed better slow speed turning, even when standing still.

They must intimidate the earth more, so it loosens its grip and lets them turn... Yeah, right. :roll:

I put 12.50R20XL's on the front of my M35A2W/W and it too seems to steer better. I'm going to put 11.00 NDT's on one of mine hear soon.

tyre selection

I put 1200x20 (singles) on my deuce. low revs nice cruise speed. M.P.G. as all speedos read "fast" putting larger tyres on without modding the speedo drive usually results in a TRUE speed. not too inacurate I find.
