Coyotegray:

No. my originals were more like our ndt's and the newer ones kinda have the blocks closer togather and more square to the axis of the tires. I will say the new ones don't lack for traction in mud, but they ride kinda like "knobby" dirt bike tires on the road, you can feel just about very block contacting the road. I'll try to get a picture of my S404.114 to put on here, with the tires visible, as they are quite the tires. I would have liked to have gotten a set of the original Swiss NDT's, but none of the tire types would sell them for on road use because they didn't have the DOT stamp on them (Duh, they're Swiss tires, for the almighty;s sake!)!!!!!:evil:


The originals were disintegrating from dry rot, that is the only reason they got replaced, as the truck has just last week turned 30000KM since new in 1963, and I've run about 20000 of them since June 2007.

Cheers,

Kyle F. McGrogan:-D

I saw this a few weeks ago and had to laugh..... I though about taking my spare and doing this, shooting a video to put on here and then sit back and watch the Shatstorm ensue.:p

that tread pattern on a set of 1100-20s singled in the rear looks like what I may try on my deuce. Thanks for the idea, didn't feel like taking the plunge on a set of radials and modifying a set of rims.
If they don't live up to expectations I'll be out less money than if i didn't like the radials.
with an improved tread pattern and a higher ground pressure I should see an improvement in traction, for what I'm gonna be doing

I went the radial route first. I wanted more diameter for clearance but the width of the tire made them worse, both climbing ability and side slip (in snow conditions) were terrible. If I could get a 48 inch tall, 9 inch wide tire, radial or not, I'd be all over it. I think my next purchase will be 11.00 X 20 NDCC's and groove them the same way.
