Trucks On Michelin 14.00R20s

[338lapua09]

I am liking the look of the 395's on your rig Wsucougarx..How's the road speed..I am happy with my ole stock 11.00's going over the mountains here..but love the look of the singles..

Good thread..

I don't want to hijack this thread but I love the 395's! I don't notice any power loss on initial acceleration (over the stock 11.00's) and she goes about 6 MPH faster. Also, I was able to maintain my speeds over hill again without any noticeable power loss or deacceleration.

Thanks..

Ok I see now thanks guys

Here is a visual aid for the deuce guys asking about 1400's for their 6x6.

No room for 1400's without custom modification to rear suspension!
These are 395's.

Here's mine.

And what rim tire combo is that?

 

[kennys@wi.rr.com]

Standard 5 ton combat wheel with Michelin XZL's. Two of the tires are currently not XZL's, that's how I got it. But after this weekend they will all be XZL's.

1100R20 Michelin XLs

Not my truck, here's another angle.

The fronts are M35A3 wheels & tires.

Note that 14.50's are the same diameter as the 1100's (43")
as mentioned above the 395's are 46" same as the 15.50R20's
The 15.50's have a heavier load rating than the 395's

One of mine with mixed front to rear tires.

14.5 XL's on front and 1100 XZL's on rear.

 

[Robn69]

Truck will run 64mph all day with the 1100 XZL's.

Just to really mess things up, here's what my 5 ton looks like with Goodyear MV/T 395's These tires are about 3" smaller in diameter (46" vs 49"). But have the about the same width as the 14.00's. Just something to think about. The 395's are in an abundant supply as they are the main tires on the FMTV type vehicles.

These fit a 2.5 ton stock wheels?

Yes and no.
People put them on stock deuce wheels and use them, quite often.
They were not designed or intended for such use.
