    M35A3 tire changing to 395/85/20 part 1

    Those are a recent listing and may not be too old of a tire (date code). It seems like a great deal on a fine tire that will give the clearance for at least one set on the back, maybe both if tight and you keep speed down. I planned to go 395 on my 4x4 but may consider the 365/85. Hmmmm

    That is 395, I believe. The 365 have about 2" more/additional space between them.

    Have you thought of having one or two axles with air lock differential?

    Here is another option that might work....365/85R20 Michelin XZL. Rodney has a deal going on flee-bay @ $325 compared to $515++; Had to remove link...I think it's against the rules to post an active one. Enter the size on a flee bay search and Rod's place in Wisconsin comes up. They...

    What Continentials and why would they work better with chains?

    M35A3 tire changing to 395/85/20 part 1

    Rears will have only 2" between them (so chains will hit) and front, I believe, will hit steering arm with A3 wheels. There may be a different wheel that could work to put the front further out (less back space).

    M35A3 tire changing to 395/85/20 part 1

    Since the CTIS is gone, there is too much weight in the standard weight block.

    M35A3 tire changing to 395/85/20 part 1

    You could put a couple extra nuts on the bolts (that bolt the rims together) to add small amount of weight on the opposite side. A static balance would tell you where you are to begin with. One way to static balance is on the truck. I decide which axle set I will repack and put new seals on...

    M35A3 tire changing to 395/85/20 part 1

    Remove the front drive-shaft. They are just enough different that it could cause some serious damage if the front is engaged. I'm going to 4x4, partially because of this cost (and I like the looks/performance).
