Dont know Tom. The limiting factor on DUKW tyre size was that if it=20
was any bigger than 1100x18 the rear units rubbed together. I'm=20
reasonably sure the thing would run on standard M series wheels and=20
tyres and that is probably what it was designed for, though during=20
testing / evaluation they probably tried the largest available tyre=20
size that would fit.=20
=20
regards Gordon 8-)=20
