Well they are installing my new tires today and have broke one stud so far. Anyone have any idea where I can get another one? How hard is it to replace? Can I run it unit I get an new stud? Thanks for any info

Got all my tires in, install will be done in the next 48 hours, here's a before photo. I will post an after photo also. Not going to lie here, really worried about the gap on the duals going from 11.00R20 to 12.00R20.. Worried that they are going to be touching. on a side note this was about...

Having a hard time finding a shop whiling to pull my old LDS and install another motor. No one seems whiling to do the job because they have little/no knowledge of the trucks. the diesel shop I’ve used for years I really thought would be up to it, but no go… anyone know of anybody in the...

Hey y'all- Drove my 5 ton to a tire shop last night to get her ready for some new tires next week. Once I arrived I did a post trip inspection and it was EASY to see the huge leak I had under my transmission. Missing this plug.. Anyone have any idea where I could get another one? Maybe a local...

Well from Feltz i bought two combat rims and two 395 85 r20's and it was $125 to ship it to Missouri. This is probably over 500 pounds so i think $125 is fair. They are about 800 miles from me. I would message them on ebay and ask them what shipping would be. Dustin Feltz is real nice and...

Thank you all for the info. Really helped me and saved me. Don't know much about tires, as you can tell. They don't have many YouTube videos on these trucks like they do on everything else. Was able to get some combat rims from Feltz tire. Those boys are very helpful. Have two Michelin XZL's...

Thanks for the info TobyS. I did end up purchasing 2 Michelin XZL’s 395 85 r20s (as the steers) today and 10 Michelin XZL 12.00R20 (as the drives) Wes- you got any heavy steer rims that will fit a 395 85 r20s?

Can I run 395 85 r20s as my steers with the stock rim? Is that safe to do so?

Saved me from an expensive mistake!

Thanks for the info guys.

Just bought 10 Michelin’s XZL 18 PLYs 12.00R20 for my M62 wrecker, will post photos of before and after. But I’m reading that a lot of people are going super singles on 5TONs, why is that? I’m going to be pulling a lot of stuck tractors/dozers in my area, y’all think I need super singles? as...

Great, thanks for this info. i was just worried about that gap on the duals.

Hey y'all. Looking for some new tires for my M62 Wrecker. Found a deal on 10 new 12.00R20, do you all think that those will fit? I have the original 11.00R20 on it at the moment. More worried about the gap between the tires on the duals when under a load. Thanks for any info.
