Looking for 12.00x20 tires.

[LC]

Our local fire department is looking for four12.00x20 tires for a fire truck. I was looking at some Michelins on Ebay but thought I would check here too. They would also be interested in the regular military tread. 11.00x20 or metric sizes that are close would be fine too.

Thanks,

Loren

The 12.00s are a hard size to come by. There are some military ones on ebay right now. What kind of truck are these going on? Maybe I could recommend an alternative tire for you.

Sounds like you might be getting 12.50R20 and 12.00X20 tires mixed up. The 12.5R20 is the same diameter as a 9.00x20, and therefore a little smaller than 11.00x20. The 12.00x20 tire is larger than a 11.00x20.

that is probaly right. it think he needed the smaller tire. or that is what came on his duck. i wonder if he could use some 1100s 20s unstead? i found a pretty good source for some used ones TIm
