I recently purchased twelve 20 inch tires in a lot. This included 5 Michelin X 1400R 20 XL and 7 Goodyear AT-2A 1400R 20s. I want to bob my duce and make a mean looking big pick-up out of it. I have been slowly accumulating the M105 trailer and other parts necessary for the project. My current dilemma is which style of tire to keep… the others I’ll try to sell. All in all the tread depth and condition of the tires is about the same (at least 70% remaining). The Michelins have a chevron like directional tread and the Goodyear’s have a diagonal set of blocks that run across the tire at an angle. The conditions the truck will see is mostly snow in the winter, and an occasional mud or dirt romp during the remainder of the year. So is one of these styles better in the snow? Also some of these tires have this heavy plastic or composite cylinder still inside… I’m assuming it’s some sort of beadlock? Can these be easily removed. Can I use them instead of a flap in combat style wheels (with a radial tube)? The combat wheels are another project in progress. I’ll talk more about those as I get educated.
