What tires are these?

[Amram]

I have looked and looked around trying to find out what tires on on this truck in this picture. I really like them and would like to put them on my truck.

Firestone T831, Probably 11.00/20.

 

[Marlboro]

I wanted those bad, but the cheapest price i found was $450.00 a piece brand new..So i got used 11.00 ndt's for $50.00 a piece.

Was gonna say they looked like the goodyears i saw on a local crash truck. They even smell expensive...

I had some Bandag retreads with that same pattern. You can barely see them in this picture:

Firestone T831's indeed. They look great but a word of caution, when you put radial tires on a Deuce, they tend to wander around the lane a little and require quite a bit more attention and steering corrections when driving down the road. The solution is to modify the caster plates between the axle and spring pack. Gringletaube had a spot on blueprint that will cure the issue so look around for it.

Seems like putting these tires on is just as expensive as getting super singles and rims to go with them....darn.

 

[pctrans]

Actually, radial 11.00's are cheaper. When you consider super-single rims alone go for around $275; I know you can get G177's for $175 to $200 each.

 

[Amram]

Those g177's are actually a good looking tire.

Thread hijack alert......well I hope not. Seeing that this is about tyres, and I'm definintely putting the cart in front of the yet to be born horse. I was wondering what the go was with the 'super singles'.

I saw a piccie of a Deuce with those 'bad boy' singles and looked something that I wouldn't mind getting. Err.......pro's/cons, manufacturer.

If I've done the social faux paux of hijacking - mods feel free to trash.

The "stones" are more expensive! I would have not singled my deuce if I could have found the stones for the same price. Just my .02

I'm running Michelin XL's, it tracks perfect and is 100 times easier to keep straight than it was with the stock NDCC's
No modifications to the caster plates either.

Those look really nice.

These are the beast to me also. I just couldnt put a non mil purchased tire on my truck. but that is just me

 

[Ferroequinologist]

I love my G177's and hope to buy more in the future

 

[EMD567]

I want Firestone T831's for my 5 ton sooooo bad.

 

[ABN173]

Since we are on the subject of tires, my GSA fire Deuce I just bought came with Prime X Trackmaster 500 Load Range "E" 10 ply 9.00-20 tires.

They are Firestone I am running those right now great in the sand

We get in the G-177's and T831's from time to time. I've got G-177's on my wrecker. Great street tire.
