1200/20 tires

I have read and heard that the M819 used 1200 X 20s, while the other M809 series trucks (except for the bridge trucks) used 1100s. I have never seen any 1200 X 20s. Why would one wrecker (M816) utilize smaller tires than the other (M819)?
Perhaps, you can consider using 1100 X 20s.

thats the big question, but it calls for 1200s. i thought the wrecker used 1400s but i was wrong. id hate to have to buy brand new , the price is out of this world, but if i have to i will

ya, i found another 816 with 1200s on it, i would think thats what should be on it because of the weight no matter what the op and parts tms say

are these guys running the 12/20s in dual configuration ? are they on the same wheel as the 11/20s ?

Are they ND tread? Is there enough clearence to run chains between the tire and rear leave springs? How much weight are they rated at? I'd like to get more road speed out of my M52a2.

1200.20's will fit a duece wheel fine, and I have never had any clearance problems.
The wheels are marked "Max tire size 12.00-20" from the factory.
There is no reason to run duals with them, a single 12.00 will hold up more than it's share of anything you could possibly put in a duece. Flip the rear hubs and run singles. Faster. Easier to steer. Quieter. Better off-road bigtime.

i was thinking about them for my XM818. and i do need duals because of the weight that it gets and even if it never got loaded i would still run them for the look of duals.

Well, a 5-ton is a different animal than a duece. In your case, I'd go with either commercial rockhopper 22.5 singles like the 385 or 425 size, or the military 14.00-R20's in single. They are rated for more weight capacity than a dual set of 12.00's. (ie, the 425-radials are set for 11,500 pounds each)
Otherwise, just mount up a set of 12.00-20 NDCC's and run those boring duals.

on my 819 theres no room for chains on the rear, when in a tight turn, the inner rears just about ( if not actually )rub the springs
