Yep, if it were mine, I would be putting on some bigger/more aggressive tires! I wonder how it would look with 395/85R20 super singles on it?

I bid on it too, but did not get it. Hopefully, there will be more coming along soon!

There is a beautiful Tru-Hitch FWTRD/HMRT combo in the first pic too!

Okay, I am in too! I promise to clean the mud off my tires this year. :-)

I just used the wheels and tires I already had. There are probably some better options out there, but I couldn't beat the price on these! Were you running M915 or M915A1? I think the slicks have more speed with the CAT tranny (It must have one or two overdrive gears.) The allison in the...

No, I put the wheels and tires on my M818 for now. Once I bob it and go back to singles, then I might be able to get rid of them. Glad your tractor is up and running!

The FWTD is made by Tru Hitch. They have both civilian and military models.

I guess it depends on what you consider "much difference". About 4" more diameter translates to about 10% increase in speed. My max speed incresed from 63mph to 70mph.

Wheels are from FMTV

Here is a pic of one. I would think a used set would be a good buy at $100-$150 each.

First of all, do they hold air? Of the 28 wheels I got several years ago, 14 leaked and had to be rewelded!

Fifth Wheel Towing Device on the back. :beer:

I love the way the M915A1s drive, but I wanted a little more road speed and a little more attitude. I found both with a set of Goodyear MVT 395/85R20 tires. With the help of Mr. M813A1 on Monday, we swapped over the street duals to the super singles. Wow, what a difference! Aggressive...

Sweet suspension setup! I have been dreaming of similar for a bobbed 5 ton!

The center hole is the same. I think the main difference is the backspacing. CTIS and thickness differences too. I put FMTV wheels on my M818. Here are a few pics.

Here is link to video unloading jeep.

Really? I guess I stand corrected. :oops:

Yeah, the military has done it. Just get a 5 ton bridge truck with cargo pallet (or truck with hooklift system). Here are some pics.

Glad you like it, sad to see it go. I don't think anyone has a M915A1 nicer than yours!

Looks like we have some good input from people with different opinions/approaches. That was my intent for this thread, thanks!
