so i have the stock rims and i want to keep those. I know this has been covered alot.

I cant go much bigger than 10r20 maybe 11r20 because of the bob job.

So what tires are available that have good tread traction and are above like 75% or better tread left.

i have sourced some commercial type "aggressive" tread tires they are g164 rtd and g124 good years, but i want some military tires that wont rot out in month and have the most aggressive tread pattern available.

So what is available and from whom and what price.

thanks in advance

These radial 124's were on my truck when I bought it from the military. Not the most aggressive but work well.

yeah those will never fit. i need tires around 41-43" overall diameter

With my bob job i only have about maybe six inches between the gas tank and front of the tire.

id like to be done with the ndt and ndcc's they do not perform like i want.

according to this site the following tires should fit diameter wise

11r20 michelin xl, 12r20 xml, 11r20 xzl,

What does that mean for the stock duece rims though? These are tubeless tires correct? Can they still be ran with tubes? How does all that work out?

those Firestone t831's are nice tires. I wonder what those list for? Would those use the same tubes/flaps as the stock duece tires or would the truck shop know what to put in there?

Radial tubes for radial tires. 11.00-20 radial tubes go for about $33.00 a piece. I know 9.00 flaps work in the 11.00 with stock rims running Michelin XZL's..
