Yes, 5ton and up.... It's a heavy, extra- high load capacity tire. Six of them, put on a M54 W/W could still carry more than twice the max. highway cargo load, at 50mph...... if the wheels (plus everything else) were strong enough!
Actual tire data, below...

I say yes, since they have about 1" less backspace than the 5ton 20x10" combat wheels.
In your case that would add two inches between front tires and substract two, between rears. (with rear hubs remaining unflipped & rear wheels dished out)
G.
Most are 5 - some are 6 GPM, depending on model.

Your's is NOT "permanent" or full-time 6WD.
YES. Front axle is driven "on demand" only. All early 5tons including 800series came that way, same as Deuces with sprag T-cases.

I think 12.50 in that particular list actually is a typo... If you search other MPT tire manufacturer catalogs you will always find them XX.5RXX or XX.5-XX (no cero following the five), or their more recent metric equivalents XXX/X0RXX or XXX/X0-XX (Example: 14.5R20 = 365/80R20)
As far as I...
So what? That doesn't make it right or solve the problem, IMHO. See drawing...
Again, they can be mounted, but they should NOT....
The "only" danger: a front tire blowing apart at 55mph, starting around its overstressed bead section...:!:
Also, you still need to run tubes in a tubeless tire...
.... and please remember that 12.5s are NOT to be mounted on A2 wheels, either................................ for the reasons already explained, over and over & again!
Edit: .... just read your last post, above: been there, feel your pain, tube type tires suck....!
You should really try...
More than knowing what "can" be done you should know (or learn) what should or should not be done. I already responded to your other thread: you should NOT mount the 14.5 on a Deuce rim, for your own and others safety!
And also, you should NOT "Cross-post multiple posts or threads about the...
Stop trying!.... and start looking for M35A3 wheels. Or any other MPT style wheel, 20x11" size.
You want to learn, search for MPT wheels and/or MPT tires...
Here is one: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/deuce-modification-hot-rodding/17472-15-50-14-50-xl-tires-stock-deuce-rims.html#post176159

Assuming you are running the 11.00-20 NDTs?
Looking at the Michelin XZL specs chart below... and also assuming that 11.00-20s and 11.00R20s are very close considering loaded radius and revolutions per mile...
then, at constant rpm, 52 mph would be increased to:
56mph with 395/85R20
60mph...
"popped when engaged".....? Please explain.
Probably not fully engaging front output... (= front prop.shaft not turning) but making a popping or knocking noise when you let out the clutch.. is it that?
Something to read (besides the TM), here...
I would like to say I like that....:-) IF.... I knew what kind of glue is recommended/ was used for this application. Is it just a two-component epoxi resin adhesiv?
Tks,
G.
LOL....... and then you want it sent back, or....?????
Hey, let's do it the other (cheaper) way around: I'll help you fix it at your place, and you take care of my daily expenses there for about a week....? Including a coastal sightseeing tour after work is done....? ;-)
