    the military ran duals for redundacey before they came out with run flats now they run singles on everything .dual 9.00s have almost identical size footprints as 395s.but in mud singles do better due to the fact the dont loose traction from the wheels being packed full of mud and lifting the...

    they are around 5 inches wider tread than the 11.00s and both 11.00s and 14.5s should use different rims than the 9.00s both both have been mounted on stock rims without any problems.i have my 15.5s mounted on stock rims.395s and 15.5s are 46inches tall and 14,5s an11.00s are 43inches tall

    thread vs thread xls are a great all around tire .they have a higher weight rating than the ndts.11.00s came on them stock 14.5s are the same height as the 11.00s but give you a bigger contact patch.they are what they run on the a3 .you can get a xl xzl or xml in a 11.00.11.00s will give you a...

    i have never used chains .i havent seen any trucks in the top truck challenge chaining up.i'm not saying that a set of chained 11.00s wouldnt be better in mud or snow and ice then the 15.5s or 395s but in everyother situation the the 15.5s and 395s are so much better that the govt runs them now...

    everything has a trade off do your reseach and choose the tire that works best for how you use your truck everyday.i had dual 9.00s on my truck they didnt work for me i singled it out with ndts they didnt work for my i'm really happy with the 15.s but think the 395s would be better in mud but...

    i.ve never seen anyone chain up for mud before.and there is a good reason the mud tires are wide and have agressive treads.every tire does different things good. if the mud has a bottom narrow tires will get it done if it doesnt a narrow tire doesnt have enough contact patch to keep the truck...

    i disagree with you saying a con is they lower milage they actually increase fuel milage. by lowering the rpm at a set speed or moving more miles for the same amount of revs of the engine .i have 15.5s on my truck and i get 14mpg on the highway pulling my m105 and i only got around 10-11 with...
