[AT] OT truck tires/driveshaft?

[jtchall at nc.rr.com]

9.00-20 is the size, pretty common to find, don't know if they were for 
trucks or trailers. To me the military style just doesn't look like it has 
enough traction on pavement, they look too rounded.

Depends on what they came off of. What size?
