    395's and hubs on my Deuce ! What I think about the upgrade.

    His avatar and signature say he has a bobber... I run 55mph all day long with just the 9.00-20s. The truck will do 60 (gps verified) but it really sucks the fuel down.

    That could be road crown or tire ruts pulling the truck around. Since we're wider than most vehicles and don't have power steering, the effects of major road imperfections are amplified.

    395's and hubs on my Deuce ! What I think about the upgrade.

    Depends on the tire and the terrain, really. If you have something with a bottom (snowy road, shallow mud) then a thinner tire does find the bottom and grab. But in a situation where a bigger contact patch is desired (sand, soft soil with no base, etc), the wider tires rule. They're also...

    395's and hubs on my Deuce ! What I think about the upgrade.

    395's and hubs on my Deuce ! What I think about the upgrade.

    I'll check that out. C&C has them all the time for just over $500, so I should be able to find some whenever I'm ready. Two questions: 1: Any reason you chose AVM over other brands? 2: What made you choose HEMMTT wheels over A3 wheels?

    395's and hubs on my Deuce ! What I think about the upgrade.

    Thank you for mentioning this! I'm new to the Deuce and I've experienced that hop three times and thought that I had major front-end damage. Now I'm thinking that the $500+ for the hubs may be a reasonable investment.
