Are there wider tires than 14.00R20's for an M929A2 dump truck?

Wider rear tires than 14.00R20's for M929A2 dump truck?

Not in 20in. Only taller.
Only wider tire is a 24R21. Requires tires and wheels. It is wider and taller.

What about front tires if I change to 24r21’s on back?
You can run 24R21s on the steers.
Or 1600r20s on your original wheels
@Steve92307 had 24r21s on his 923

What about 385/80’s
385/80/20s are 15in wide. 395 85r20s are 15.5 wide but 1.5in shorter than 1400R20s.

Do the steering 24r21’s have limited stearing

Hello Ladoublet!
I believe you said you would be off-road only, but what are you doing with your truck, how much weight, and at what speeds are you hauling?
I was considering Sand trails at one point for extra flotation in farm fields, but we have a lot of steep hills, and field stone here, I decided not to risk a rollover by overloading a soft tire.

So, I’m assuming your looking for stability to prevent rolling over on hills, not necessarily flotation?

If I remember correctly your within the limits of Sand Trails at that weight, and speed, but if you’re looking for stability in the hills to prevent a rollover, they won’t help with their low air pressures, same rim width, and think they would puncture much easier. I was hoping maybe you were looking for more flotation in flat fields…

14.00r20’s cause too many ruts. Need max flotation

What is recommended tire pressure on M923A2's for hauling 10,000 #' on sandy soil?

I found a guy on facebook (bigfoot military tires) selling bridge truck wheels. You could run dual 14.00 r20 in the rear and keep the front the same. Would only have to buy 4 more tires and the wheels are pretty cheap.

Depends on your speed… at 25mph I’d drop down to around 20psi. Just make sure your sidewalls aren’t wrinkling at any point.
