Sand trail tires?

[DeuceNewb]

Needing a new set of tires for my 936 wrecker, being that I live at the beach and also how cheap they seem to sell for, are they a viable option? Can they handle the weight? The idea of wider tires is very appealing for how heavy this thing is and how soft the ground is

they are heavy rated

we have been mounting them on 5 ton rims

This looks like the same tire mounted on a truck, for reference.

I have a set and was thinking about the same thing for my M936A2. I believe that they will work just fine but may be a little wiggly on road

It’s been a long time but I think the Husky is around 20k on two axles. The issue is the speed and pressure rating translates to somewhere around 35psi at 35mph IIRC. They are designed to run slow and low with a big footprint to pass over mines with a happy ending.

I have the them on a trailer that I tested empty, very fast behind my pickup. I run sane speeds at around 6k on 1 axle behind the 5 ton. Only about 24psi to get the entire contact patch on the road at that weight, and they run just a tad warmer than the truck tires.
