9x20 tubes on 395 80 20

Will this work with a m35a2 split rim? I want to put Michelin 395 80 r20 tires on stock split wheels with the 9x20 tubes. I cant find an answer with search on my phone.

No. Absolutely not. NO.

When I switched from 9.00s to 11.00s someone at the tire shop stuck 9.00 tubes in some of the tires since he remembered those coming out. Week and a half later TWO tubes had split with full air loss while driving around on improved roads. No offroading, no curb jumping, absolutely no load at all.

Shop manager was p'od but did the right thing and pulled all the other 11.00s off the truck and replaced the split tubes plus two others that hadn't split yet.

You might get away with it, but personally I won't ever run without the correct sized tubes. I carry my girls all the time in the truck and new tubes are well worth it.

Fair enough. Ty.

I run 13.00x20 tubes with my stock wheels on 395s. Tried 11.00 x20s first but had 3 tubes let go in 2 weeks. Be safe and spend the little extra money to get the correct (or fairly close) size.

Yup, lots of people have used the wrong size tubes, but you will save yourself time and money(and effort!) to use the right stuff.
