Do the Firestone T831's offer a better ride quality compared to the the stock NDT's? Also how much faster can you go with the added tire size?

yesm they last longer, and give way better traction in any condition over the NDT. im assuming you are going to go with 11R20's, if thats the case they should bump your speed up to about 60, if im not mistaken.

I don't know about ride qual, or speed or any of that. BUT what i do know is that there was a tan deuce at the GA rally with those still set up dual. That truck made every it over anything and everything with ease. Stuff that had deuces on 395 stuck looked like no effort at all. For my money those make a deuce a real offraod machine, but at thier price tag i would expect no less.

Scoot, alot of that had more to do with the duals having a wider foot print. Where you put your tires makes alot of difference when off road.

Gimp, you are correct, the duals do have a wider footprint, and that did make them go places a little easier than the super singles did...but that deuce with the "stones" even made the other dualies look like they were struggling.

Now that is a sharp looking truck.

What are you running on the rear and front of that truck...the tread patterns are just slightly different...or is it just because of ones being drive tires and the others are steering tires????
