I think the 11R22.5 tires are only 41 inches, same as the 9.00x20. Shouldn't be a problem with the chains. We'll let Wallew confirm once we gets them on.

You have me confused. Are you talking about 5 ton beadlock wheels? They are two pieces, but I don't know what you mean by lock rings. Can you post a picture?
Actually, HEMTT and PLS are now using the same tire. Michelin XZL 16.00R20. Original HEMTTs came with Michelin XL 16.00R20 but they are now being fielded/modded with 2 piece rims and the XZLs. They are the same size, just different tread pattern and the load rating might be different.
The XML are not used on the 900 Series or the HEMTT. Also, there are no interchangeable tires between the 900 Series and the HEMTT (unless you are taking post DoD use/application)

Do you want to view a photo gallery showing various options and configurations of super singles? I posted a collection of various photos which show different deuces with different combinations of rims and tires. These have been collected from members on this board and other spots around the...
