Ditto on what Karl said
I have a thread here about putting 16.00's on my m916.
Little machine work on frt drums & your good to go.
The 16.00's look like they belong on it.
I was was hoping for a 920 but ended up with the 916
Now just need to find a really large knuckleboom to throw on it :)...
I have a couple that I use for vehicle storage.
They work great but are a little tight getting in & out of.
I also have a 53ft one that's 6in wider.
No pics right now
Like I said earlier they are rodent proof, keeps the field mice from tearing up the wiring.
You can remove the trans cooler lines & inspect them.
I've spliced one before (it had rubbed a hole in it)

They have done some really stupid stuff in the past & continue to do even

Day late & a dollar short !!
Bet it will be like the 1101 & 1102's a few years back.
Except with these they will just refund your money
(no interest on the money they have had for the last 6 months)
Check ball joints, axle ujoints, tie rods, drag link ends, rag joint on steering shaft.
Give it a good once over.
Is the steering tight & responsive or does it seem loose all the time ?
It could also be something as simple as an alignment.
