I got a M 105 trailer that I have completely redone. However, the original 9.00x20 tires are really dry rotted and I need some new ones. I found a place that carrys all kinds of military tires and they have the exact same tire and rim I need. I would love to put on a wider tire as opposed to the skinny 9.00x20. does anybody know if an M105 would except 14.00x20's or 16.00x20's (Of course on larger rims) Thanks

Are your rims FUBAR or are just the tires.

You could put wider civilian tires on the stock rims (just dont go too wide).

Why do you think you need wider tires?

I have pulled some heavy loads in a M105 and never had issues.

A wider tire is not going to prevent a rollover if you get counterbalanced.

I have seen M105's with duals but it is hard on axle bearings.
