Michelin XLZ 395/85R20; interested?

[drewactual]

they are 46.4x15.5x20's.....

anyone want to run such a tire?

I can land five of them, brand new, for a price that is hard to believe... but I thought I'd ask before I went and got them if anyone is interested.. many sets available...

hell, I may get a set- but only after I figure out how big a lift I need to support them..

Not interested in the tires but am interested in whether you got your fuel pressure issue fixed.

[drewactual]

I did... it was the FRP sensor.. a fairly easy job, and haven't had a problem since..

I really appreciate your help with that one.. I was way far from home and only had a (somewhat) smart phone to dig for solutions with..

Good deal

I was looking into the XL series tires many years ago since they were relatively cheap for the size. Unless something has changed or if I am mistaken the only downside is that you aren't supposed to run them faster than 55 MPH.

Yup... These are from military drmo, on the base I work.. they are for mcats, or seven ton's... You're likely right about the speed rating, but I gotta say: if there is a street legal p/u with enough balls to push those heavy rascals that fast, I would be impressed.. they likely weigh 300# each, and rotational weight of all four would be in the neighborhood of 4800#.. enough power to turn them would be enough power to snap axles too.. I bet the axles would give first, or, it would take a good driver to keep that from happening..

The military paid $21k for all five of them, and they are unused selling for about $150... Typical, huh?

[NCfarmboy]

$150 each is a steal....

[drewactual]

Yup... $150 for five is criminal... Gotta love waste fraud and abuse.. they likely have fifty SETS of five on pallets they are selling..

Google govt surplus auction, and select camp lejuene nc... You'll see 'em..

Peterson off road magazine put a set on the ultimate superduty they built for the ultimate adventure. I can not recall if they ran them on the road or not but they did have upgraded axles and they had to run a ram assist because they kept on breaking steering boxes if I recall correctly.
