I have wondered for some time and after reading Ryan's post about his 5 ton
I have to ask. Why doesn't some one out there manufacture a cheap truck
tire that is the same basic size at the 9.00 x 20 and 11.00 x 20 NDCC tires
that will be an equivalent 22.5 tubeless? I believe the members of this
list alone would buy enough to justify the quantity needed for a run at a
plant. I know 5 ton tubeless rims are easy and cheap to come by. We have a
pile of 10 lug rims at our shop in the scrap pile. We have upgraded to so
many aluminum rims on trucks we have all these "spare" steel rims. I
suspect the 6 lug that would fit a deuce could be found in junk yards too.
Is it solely that we MV enthusiast are too cheap? I wouldn't mind spending
a couple hundred buck for a set on the front of my deuce. It makes me
nervous walking around those rings.
I am onto something or has this been tried before with out success?

PS. Spent a couple hours today working on the M35A4X4 "monster" truck. You
purist had better watch out :-)
