tractor tires on street driven deuce?

[Monster Man]

I was flipping through the local equipment trader and saw a decent price on some new 1100 20 tractor tires- very directional industrial farm tires.

Would these theoretically work on the deuce? What would the traction on the street be like?

The only drawbacks I see are they are not DOT approved (nor or the NDT's), they aren't speed rated (nor are the NDT's), and they have a squarer profile, obviously designed for a wider wheel than the deuce has.

What do you think? <img src="emoticons/icon_smile_shrug.gif" alt="Shrug">

hmm i think it might be a little rough and the tread wear would be horable but it sure would look neat. as for the rim width ive seen guys put 16.00X20 on a stock 7.5 rim. looks goofy and would wear the center out but it would be ok for an "off road only" rig. or make and air jack and chage wheels at the trail


got any pics or info? i would be interested.

Anybody have a line on those Russian military tires or a manufacturer that has the outside 1/3 of the tire is like a tractor tire, then the center has some connecting blocks between the treat. These tires would ROCK!!!
