    M101 A2 tire suggestions

    I cannot easily post pictures because the truck is in pieces in another state. I can tell you that Power Wagon bodies did not change appreciably between 1946 and 1968. There is a huge PW following and many groups and sites on line dedicated to them. My knowledge is limited compared to the...

    Ahh, but my van has F series lug spacing--SuperDuty front end and spacers on the van rear to accept E series stud pattern so that all four wheels match...

    M101 A2 tire suggestions

    That is a nice looking tire at a great price. Thanks for the lead. Then I scroll down and see the load range F and G tires; they look good for loads but not for traction and I have no idea about puncture resistance. You do need some traction in rain, ice, mud or the trailer will slide around...

    M101 A2 tire suggestions

    M101 A2 tire suggestions

    M101 A2 tire suggestions

    All, I used my 1985 M101A2 recently for the first time in about a year. Great trailer; tows well, backs well, stops well, and carries a LOT of weight. When I went to use it I checked the tire pressure--one was still at 65psi, the other down to about 10. Not bad for 12 months outside. I aired up...
