With all this talk of tires has anyone tried or heard of these before? Military Wrangler MT/R's seems kinda pricey at $720 a peice. :shrug:

It's the tire the military uses on the H1's. From my understanding you can get them used for really cheap. Anytime the military sends an H1 overseas they scrap the tires on it and put new ones, even if they are already new. I remember coming across a post on Pirate4x4 where someone posted a link of a place that sold them for around $80 a tire or something.

That's about all I know about them though.

Those MT/R's listed on Tire Rack are not military HMMWV tires,They use a different style Wrangler(2 actually but the bias ply is outdated and no longer made) and are load range D.


Those tires you listed on Tire Rack are for civilian H1's with 16.5" steel wheels as replacements since the military versions really suck(radial versions and not DOT approved).The bias ply version are only 36" tires and are killer offroad on a heavy vehicle like the HMMWV.
