Default 42-43 Michelin XLs on duece - Pics needed

Hey guys .. Ive tried searching to get what I needed but cannot find any pics of the 42-43 inch Michelin XLs on the duece to see what they look like. Ive got a friend selling 6 of the tires on rims fairly cheap but am curious to how they will make mine look. I know the exact size of the tire is 14.5 r20. I have a m35a2 duece. Thanks...

The first 3 pics are of my truck with the 46" tall xml. Yours will be 3" shorter. Mine rub at full articulation, yours shouldn't.

thanks, that looks pretty good, so you didnt have any problems on the street with 46"s ? This duece will most likely be on the road or offroad rarely without a lot of articulation

No problems as of yet and I have driven them 1000s of miles. My drag link rubs on hard right turns, dunno if the smaller tires will or not. Its a small issue compared to all the improvements. imho.

ah hard descision .. guy i know is selling the 6 on the stock wheels for $1000. seems to be a good deal to me. 4 of the 6 are brand new never run, the other 2 are like new 95% or so. I dont have a choice of size but almost rather hold off for the bigger version. how did they perform compared to NDT ?

Better road speed and they fit in the spare tire location. One of my 395s will not with out major modifications. Get them, that is a deal. I spent that much in tires plus 450 for tubes.

Gimp you got robbed on the tubes!

Apoc same like Gimpys, 14.5s should save what few headaches we have with the 395s.
