    ya go with the 14.5s you'll like the extra top speed to and singles make it easier to turn and are better in most situations .it will accellerate quicker and have a higher top speed with 14.5s then it does with 9.00s since 6 14.5s with rims are lighter than 10 9.00s with rims.

    i think for most guys the 14.5s would be best .but for the guys that want to do some serious offroading the 15.5s or 395s are best .it.s all about getting what suits you and how you use your truck :-D

    in order to compare tires you have to do so at the same pressure to.anytime else and you are comparing apples to oranges.the 14.5s are a good choice they do give you a tire that was run on the trucks while in service.i would use a 12.00 20 tube in them some guys run 14.00 tubes in them .but i...

    ya i like the look of your truck way better than that setup .i was looking for 14.5s a while ago and they seemed to be the hardest size military tire to fine the only ones i found were so far away the shipping would have been way more than the tires
