Difference in ND tires

Post by Phil4280 »

I was wondering besides the obvious difference in the shoulders what are the difference applications between the 2 if any?

NDCC round shoulder
vers
NDT square shoulder

They differ in the shoulder, the pitch of the lugs and I believe the lug count can vary as well. The primary change is the rounded shoulder to quiet the tire down on the hard surfaces. The NDCC's are correct for the M series Willys built from 1950 on.

Thanks Wes!

I knew there was a reason with the different styles but just could not recall what?

Yse I did see on the spec sheet that they use the 700 x 16 NDCC tires just the big issue is trying to find a suplier here who does not want an arm and a leg as well as your 1st born boy child for them.
