Michelin XLs

I've come across a few threads about the Michelin army tires. I've seen and read alot about them but never really looked into them. anyway, is it that they are so cheap? is it because they're a surplus item?

Well, if you have ever been too or seen some of the surplus military auctions or auction sites you will see first hand the gross over spending of the government. . .and subsequent toilet flushing of millions of tax payers dollars

If you still don't know what i mean. . .BRAND NEW rockwell 2.5 - 20 ton axles, unimog axles still crated, jet egines still wrapped, all no reserve starting at $50

$5 sez they are just surplus
