La Quinta 5 Ton

[DaveP]

I like the look of the big tires if you are using them for a reason but like Bruce I like the five ton with 1100 X20 or 1200X20 at the biggest and keep them dual[/quote]

I agree with the look of the duals. i just have yet to find a usable set of 12.00 20's for the M819. the 1600 XZL's have the load capacity that is needed for this unit.

This gets me thinking I should look into shipping a container of 1200 20 tires from Hankook here in Korea. I will look into the availablity but it may be an option because Korea still uses 5 tons and dueces. If this is a possibility I would want to know if anyone else is looking for these.

Dave, I might.

Personally, I think the 14.00 duals look proportionally perfect on a 5-ton. But the thought of reduced road RPMs really makes the 16.00s appealing, at least to me.

the 14:00 duals would look good but the clearance issues would prevent them from being used on a standard 5 ton. the 12;00,s rubbed on the rear suspension on the M819 on tight turns.
