    New tire option for M939 (M923A2) 1991?!

    Well, there is no such thing as a tire perfect for every application/condition. If I wanted a tire for mainly on-road service I would not choose the XZL, for sure... Price of these Goodyear tires is very tempting, since other distributors are asking almost twice as much for the same thing...

    New tire option for M939 (M923A2) 1991?!

    I don't see any reason they won't fit... Almost same outer dimensions as the stock Michelins, same rim width, on-off road service and DOT approved. 20PR L (Load index 164) is just a bit more than the 18PR XZLs : 11.000 lbs vs. 9920 lbs max. load, single

    The unbreakable tire bead.

    Short A: NO One of the two functions of the stock runflat insert is just that: lock the beads firmly in place!

    tubes for 35" tires in a 31" tire fitment ?

    👍 .... Exactly, well said! And speaking about truck & trailer tires made in China, if you ever tried "Double Coin", I'm sure you'd want to buy again.

    tubes for 35" tires in a 31" tire fitment ?

    That is good advice, but it should also be directed to the big retailers - I mean their responsible buyers (most of them not having a technical background... !) Keep in mind that the Chinese make excellent quality products, too. But usually it is just their lower-priced options (call it chicom...

    PTO installation on m818

    This thread: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/backlash-on-m35a2-pto.26819/ Doesn't matter if M35 or M812; those transmission PTO's are basically the same for both series of trucks.

    Is there a good preservative or protectant to use on cables?

    That! - if we are talking about sheathed electric cable; electric contacts; rubber parts, etc. (Not steel cables & wire ropes) AKA "Dielectric Grease"

    tubes for 35" tires in a 31" tire fitment ?

    Better not...!! They won't last very long; folding and wrinkles will occur, for sure.

    395/85R20 tires for Deuce

    Only the 20-bolt MRAP steel wheels (with a 1/2" adapter plate) will pretty much line up, mounted that way. This one: But with the 12-bolt version - which have a backspace of about 11" - the difference is 3". Meaning, the track width at the rears would be 6" more than front.

    395/85R20 tires for Deuce

    The Deuce front axle measures 79" between wheel mounting flanges/hubs, while the rears (for duals) are 10" narrower. Your "distance" depends on what wheels you mounted your 395s on. Like 10" wheels with a backspace of about 8", mounted (dished out) on non-flipped rear hubs, will give you...
