M105 tire/wheel size

[sgtrisk]

Are the wheels/tires on the M105A2 trailer the same as the "standard" wheels/tires on the M35A2 Deuce?

I'll be recovering one in the next week or so (or SO...) and was just thinking that a spare tire would be a wise thing to take along with me.

yes

Spares are always good to have. Sometimes we have bought trailers simply to get spare wheels and tires to throw in the back of the truck just in case.

As a side note, some of us have bought M105, M103, M353, and M332 trailers with excellent tires, only to swap the rims/tires out with the ones on our trucks in order to get newer rubber.

Tires, rims and lug nuts the same. Including the left hand threads on the drivers side. The bearing nut inside the hubs is bigger than the M35 nuts however.

Thanks for info, guys. I'm at work, and asking the question here was a LOT faster than browsing through the TM!

I've thought about the wisdom of purchasing trailers just for the tires, after pricing replacements!!

My M146 trailers both came with new spares that had never been used. One still has part of the sticker on it. I have a pile of tires getting ready to swap out the best ones onto the deuce. Even the used ones from the trailers still have the casting ridge in the center.
