Just wondering if M977 HEMTT tires are the same sizes as tires on "Big Foot" M923A2 truck?

I can't tell you the sizes on the Bigfoot tires, but here are the specs on the HEMTT:

Size - 16.00R20
Tread Width - 15"
Tire Height - 51.5"

Maybe someone else has the tire info for the Bigfoot.

Hope this helps!

Bigfoot tires are Michelin XL or Good Year 14.00R20.....(so the HEMMT feet are bigger )
Sorry for the bad news

HTH (and Merry Christmas )

GOD,
M977 HEMMT
Rim: 10x20
10 lugnut pattern
Tire: 16xR20
M939/M923
Rim: 10x20
10 lugnut pattern
Tire: 11xR20
God bear in mind also that the rims of each Truck dont even look the same. the HEMMT rim is flater and the weep holes are in different location.
The M923 wheel is convex with 6 wheep holes and the Auto Air Infflation system on them for A!'s & A2"s. Hope this steers you in the right direction.

Pro Art has relesed a resin set of wheels for the HEMMT (#35004):

and there's a review of some of the aftermarket Bigfoot tires on Vodnik's website :

M939/M923
Rim: 10x20

Tire: 11xR20


These specs may be correct for ten wheel M923/M925, but not for six wheel "BigFoot" M923A1 or A2. These varians use 14xR20 tires.

the Auto Air Infflation system on them for A1's & A2"s.


Only A2 variant has Central Tire Inflation System (CTIS). The A1's do not have it.
