Hi, I have a chance to get some Michelin 395/85R20 XML meats and I am just wondering if my D60's will take it.
Thanks

I kinda think anything over 42 is pushing it with a standard 60. get some ROCKWELL'S!!!!

Hell no. 38s are pushing it for heavy use, 42s are pushing it for moderate use. 47s might work if your running a factory jeep with a 4cyl :flipoff2:

nope. i blew up mine with 38's, granted it was 30 spline, but I wasnt git'n it either. Hopefully the 35 spliners hold up better (and my locker don't blow up if they break). This is referring to the front, a rear 60, good luck id say!

Thanks for the replys. Looks like I better just get the 38s and get some 35 spline outers.

Grr, just got the front 60 and now I've got my eyes open for a set of rockwells. Its a sickness I tell you...

Definitly a sickness. The old Jeep acronym of Just Empty Every Pocket applies to almost any 4x4 project.:D
