14.00 x 20 singles on a wrecker?

[area52]

Will this work on a 32,000lb wrecker? The rating is around 9900 per tire so thats almost 60,000 for 6. Do they fit on a 10" rim or do you need 12" wide rims?

Anyone got pictures of 14's single on a 5 ton?

i am saving my pennys now for just the same thing, if you want the track to be the same front and rear, then you need to run super single rims like hemtt or 900 series single rims, i was told that thay would fit a 10 but a 12 is is better for the sidewall

This is my five ton on 14.00r20's. I'm using a 10" wide rim and it seems to work well. The 14.00r20 tires have a 9900 lb rating but if you could fit the 16.00r20 tires they have a 14,000 lb rating if I am not mistaken.......

Seen plenty of M936s with super singles and they weight 33,000#

Buggyman,

Did you flip the rear or use super single rims or what? Does the rear track inline with the front? Where did you get the tires?

Nice truck, looks great!!

As Kenny said, the M936A1/A2 had single 1400s on it. I had an M936A2 that weighed over 37,000 pounds with the complete wrecker tool kit. No problems with the tires running at 60 mph down the highway. I will say, however, it is a little disconcerting that the speed rating on those tires is only about 55 mph (not sure exact rating as I don't have a tire in front of me).

Ron,

I found a guy on Ebay that quoted me $750 for 6 14.00 x 20 tires - 4 at 100% recaps and 2 at 70% or better. He said he is 100 miles south of Atlanta. Shipping would be the killer for me but it might work for you if your interested.

I saw 2 M812's last saturday that were running dual 14.00 ndt's on the rear. HUGE!!
