HMMWV tires

[SHoppe715]

How do these tires do offroad? They seem like a pretty hard compound. Not too much void on the lugs either. I check American tire today, they have the tires, but no wheels. I coun't find any 16.5" wheels in town

I ran the p!$$ out of my current set from 50% tread down to what they are now with open diffs. They grabbed on to anything and everything and I rarely aired down. The biggest problem is that the beads won't hold if aired down because of their design. The only beadlocks I've seen in 16.5 are the DIY weld in dealeos but you're still left with the poor inner bead unless you do both and thats a lot of little bolts to torque and they're no where near 50 state legal.(hows that for a runon sentence?) I'm running 16.5 'cause of my goofy bolt pattern and Giant tire happened to have a set of 5 that fit. I'm saving up for a set of Staun internal beadlocks I'll order through Eric to solve the bead problem. On a superficial cosmetic note, I really dig keeping the military theme going on my rig as well.
