Here's my problem, maybe there's a simpler solution:

That is a Michelin XL 11.00R20 and I RARELY see them go across GL. I would like to go to super-singles, anyway and the first one I posted look inviting.

The truck is in Dublin, TX (80 mi. south of Ft. Worth) right now and I'm in Aurora, CO (near Denver). I plan to go down and drive it home over the Thanksgiving holiday and need to fix the tire problem. The tire in the spare rack is a 11.00 NDT. One thought is to put the NDT on the inside.

Thanks guys for chiming in, love SS!

(Corrected the tire size from 12.00 to 11.00)

Can anyone tell me this, what is the biggest tire I can put on my current split rims?
If I pull these tires off, can I put them on my deuce in place of the 9.00 NDTs with split rims that are on it?
Anybody got a bargin for me between here and Ft. Worth, TX (including most of Kansas, New Mexico and Oklahoma)?

Just remove the tire and drive without it on.

You shouldn't run a radial along side a radial. They are a different height, so you will wear out the radial quickly. And yes, the 11.00's will work well on your deuce, just gotta switch out the rims.....ugh!

I can't just put the 11.00 on the same rims as the 9.00s? Any idea where I can get wider rims for the deuce? (maybe I should take this up on the deuce forum).

I may be selling the chassis from the M109 and keeping the box because the engine is non-turbo and runs like dog$#!~ at this altitude (5280) and I was planning to be using it at 10,000 ft. I am contimplating bobbing the M923 and putting the M109 box on it to make it my backwoods camper. I haven't worked out the dimensions yet since the 5 ton is in TX and the M109 is here in CO.
