Has anyone successfully ran these on an M35? I have a deuce I use 99% in sand and these are appealing. I have searched forums and found people that intended on using them, but nobody ever followed up if they fit.

They are ~47" tall or so.

Thanks,
Jeff

They are a tad over 48" tall. I kno we used to spread the axles on deuces to clear the 14R20s. So I dont know if they would touch on the rear or not

Thanks for the info. Doing the math, they should be~ 48.3", but everyone selling them says 47", thats why I was curious. Eastern surplus has them cheap right now and was hoping to find a way to run them on mine, but they might be cheap for a reason!

Cheap cause there isnt a high demand for them. We have them for around $140 each as well for high tread to new condition. You realize they are only 4 ply tires correct? Meaning probably your maximum capacity is carrying a deuce.

Yeah, all I do with mine is use it to pull my boat and RV out of the sand. Doesn't really haul anything of weight in the bed at all.

4ply has a weight capacity of 1430lbs x 6 = 5,000lbs less than what a deuce weighs in empty.

They are the same size diameter as 14.00R20, will rub on a deuce rear....so you 4x4 the deuce. Yes, I can see a 4x4 deuce with them for mostly sand...with air lockers front and rear. The mine sweeper they were for is no light vehicle and it is rated to 50 mph, so should be fine. I have several mounted on rims. The rims fit 20,000-25,000# ag hubs (13.29 bc)...which I also have a few of with 4" solid spindles.

The Husky is rated from 19-26klbs on just two axles, so off road capacity on a deuce shouldn’t be an issue. Tires are 47.25” at the tread shouldersIMG_3547.jpg but they really bulge on the skinny little 10” wide wheels, to right at 49” in the center of the tread.IMG_3546.jpg I’d stretch your dog bones and go for it, 10psi in the front 5psi in the rear should give you some serious flotation and work awesome for your scenario.
