military surplus
Has anyone ever bought any military surplus tires? Looking to put new tires on truck and do not want to break the bank. Are these tires any good? They claim they are 90% tread. Thanks

I assume you are talking about the used Goodyear HumVee tires? There were several different ones, all in a 16.5" diameter.......the newer radial MT or MTR( i Believe?) are supposed to be a pretty good all around tire, while the bias ply Wrangler R/T ( again im doing this from memory only) had a reputation for being horrible on pavement in the rain, otherwise tough and sturdy off road. I believe that the Bias ply Wranglers were a little smaller, 36"x12.50x16.5 while the radials are a 37x12.50x16.5 size...

Welcome to FTE. You know they are 16.5 rim size right? Use the Advanced Search, tons of threads and info about them.

36's are bias ply and not the best wet road manners.
37's 1st style are radial MT's
37's 2nd style MT/R's are better overall tire.

Ah.... love is a gimme, but let you put in action the ideas is a complete different story. lol Price the MT/R's new and she will let you get the used ones all day long.
If shipping is out of the wallet, plan a mini toad trip from In to OKC and you can pick your tires yourself. Pass the word, get a few friends to get on board for tires also and split gas and driving duty. Put he women in the back of the EC/CC with a few barly pops and head west.
