M52A2 and XM757 side by side

With both trucks in the yard, here are a few pictures.

Nice pics. Both are good looking trucks but I have a question. Where do you get tires for the 757?

I don't, wish I could find a few more, would be nice to have all tires the same brand for example. There was even a radial version on the truck made by Uniroyal, the others are made by Goodyear and Goodrich, some retreads some not. The Goodyear ones are the ones that have survived in best condition. The Uniroyal radial didn't even make the tow home from OK.

What are the tire sizes? Are they the same as the M989 Ammo trailer? Not the M989A1. If they are I may know someone that has 7 or 8 of those.

The tires are marked 16-20 and are actually 16/70-20 by size (or 405/70-20 by metric standards).

I'm very surprised to see you sold the crane truck. Glad you still have the 8x8, though. I don't know if you remember me. I stopped by your place a few years ago.

So did you purchase the M52 or is it just visiting?
