Default CMP tire size options ?

I have 20" 60cwt rims on my F 15A, what is the largest tire size that anyone has used and put on there CMP's ? or any cwt ?

right now I have 9:00x20 NDT tires on them but currious to know of others and what they have used ? would 11:00x20 fit ?, I assume with these rims radials are out of the question due to the bead lip ? ........ currious

BTW If anyone close to BC still has a spare good 20" wheel I need a spare.

pics would also be nice to see what you guys used

thanks

Default tires

down below we have run 12.00 x 20 nd,s off the mog,s and Acco,s on blitz rims. 10.00 x 20 road tires work fine.

Default Tyres

12.00-20 not good on Fords as you'll get a shiny Pitman Arm. Also they look too big but are a cheap(er) option.

When I got my F15A, the 16" tyres were badly perished, so I had to fit the 12.00-20 wheels off my F60L to get it home:

My F60L has the "Small" steering box, and on it and the F15A the 12.00-20's don't foul the steering shaft or pitman arm. Maybe this just occurs on the "Big" steering set up?

1200x 20's look too big but as Keith said they are cheep here in OZ.
900x 20's NDCC would be the way to go over there they are a dime a dozen.
8 Ply so they are light weight with a soft ride.

BTW never did make it up that hill. But I will keep trying.

Thanks Gents

looks like I could stay with the 9:00's or maybe go to 11:00's which are easily accessable here as surplus tires.

thanks for the help.
