Ill update this as frequently as I can, maybe it could be a sticky?
T-Hawk 373 NDT 9.00x20, 8 ply, 59.1 lb, 19/32" tread depth, 7" rim, 40.9" dia BIAS PLY!!!!!! 65mph 4000lb AT HWY SPEED

T-Hawk 373 NDT 11.00-20. 12 ply, 84.9 lb, 21/32 tread depth, 8" rim, 43.5"dia BIAS PLY!!!!!! 65mph 5920lbs AT HWY SPEED

G-Year G177 11.00-20 unk, unk, 33/32 tread depth, 8" rim, 43.7" dia RADIAL PLY!!!!! 68mph******** 7390 Single 6780 Dual

Michelin XL 11.00-20 23/32nd tread depth, 7.5"~8"rim, 43.1" dia RADIAL PLY!!!!! 65mph 7200 Single 6360 Dual



******68MPH continuous speed fpr 2 hours, then a suggested 1 hour cooldown. I personally believe @ 60mph you would be fine



the tech support person at titan (t-hawk) advised that these are highway rated but he admitted they have POOR wet weather highway traction. He advised they are good sand and light mud. He didnt seem too keen on going 65 on pavement in the rain.'that alone has me looking for other tires. the g177/michelin xl is looking much better, IMO
i dont see, other than maybe cost and looks, of maintaining NDT's from the safety standpoint.

the issue, as explained by him, is the fact you ride on the center rib.

i admit grooving will help in that you now "channel" water away from the solid rib, but you have also decreased the contact patch.

I found these when searching images of the GY G177. These are pretty sweet looking and would they suit the purpose on a deuce?! They look like more condensed NDT's!! LOL

I think though they might all be for 24" rims..... *sigh*
