Can you run the 1200R20 XML tires on stock wheels? Do the rub together on the duals?

I know some one in the Tacoma WA area that is working great on a Brutis build. He was on Brutis In Vietnam. I will try and check in oh his build.

I was going to try and look the specs up on the tire but have not been able to find the size by any manufacturer.

What is the brand of the sand Tire? Do you now what the designated rim width is ? I would be surprised if 2" rim width makes a difference unless you are hauling any real weight.

The one on the left is a vintage 16.5 8 hole wheel the one on the right is a 12 bolt hummer wheel. All tires/ wheels with a .5 means it's a tapered bead instead of a flat bead. The tapered bead handles and distributed weight better and facilitate tubeless mounting demount ingredients easier...

There is no difference between The curve of the lip. Here is a 12 bolt and a standard drop center from the 70s when 16.5 bias tires were the norm. I was going g to post up a side by side of 8 vs 12 but I don't have any unmounted. It's about application and weight rating. Same reason why they...

I would think it depends on the use as well. The 8 bolt were for bias lighter weight carrying capacity tires. So the only inherent difference is how strong the mounting flange is. I know plenty of guys that use them for wheeling on lighter rigs like Toyota and such. With the addition of a rock...

A little goes along way and hitting the. With a wire wheel will make spinning them on a breeze. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Tapatalk

The use of gravel was an experiment. Think Hardened Homes & Gardens.

Cool idea. It appears that some of those rigs were using 1200R20 Mich XML striker tires.

Cost would still be cheaper to run military tires. By the time you add in tires wheels and reporting gearing you would have to put on a lot of miles. And if your putting on that many miles you may as well buy a semi truck. In the PNW we can get rubber for less than $250 a 395 Tire. A used wheel...

Go to regional chapter, Western States, pnw thread I know the info has to be either in that thread or in the western chapter of surplus yard listing.

I don't know of any that has hummer stuff. Go the power page on here and there is some info. If I remember right there is a place in ID that does.

They make 22.5 tubeless wheels in the 6 hole bud bolt pattern. Should run you about $150-200 per wheel you will also need the tires to go with it. An 11r22.5 and 1000x20 have the same OD so you would gain some height from a 9.00x20 but an inch or so shy of the 1100x20.

Gotcha so it must be rocking the 1400x24 not tires then... yup it's a beast then! Best use for a rig that massive is an off-road log truck or dumper!

If these are the Bridge Trucks Grant County uses them for Gian off road fire fighting rigs. They put a 3k gallon tank in the rear 1400r20s on the wheels and a joystick controlled spray nozzle on the front bumper.

Tires sitting will create a flat spot. It worse on bias tires than radial tires but happens in both. The best way to get rid of them is to air the tires up and drive them. Also combat rims with run flats have a water soluable paste to help tires dive on a flat. I'm 99% certain it is some kind...

These tires are in a standard directional skids there style tread. Should have plenty of load carry capacity and traction. Because of the small sidewall they won't have much flex.. the tires probably aren't cheep but it does make it possible to get the height dropped you asked for.
