As the title says, I'm interested in purchasing a Military Rim/tire combo for my 40. I am wanting to switch tires because the more I fix up my rig, the more I wanna drive it. And am exploring a more pavement friendly tire. I have compiled a list of pro's and cons in my head from my research and just general assumptions, here it goes
pros-
-cheap
-good road tire
-beadlock rim
-look badass(opinion)
-37 inch tire (offroad lift over 34's, highway overdrive)
-Michelin tires
cons-
-16.5 rim limited tire choices
-heavy
-average offroad tire
-need Toyota centers welded in or purchase already done
-may need to step up to chromoly axle shafts or...?
One major determining factor in wanting new shoes for my 40 was my old rims that like to leak air when aired down. Was considering weld on beadlocks and km2's, but would love the uniqueness of the military setup. Plus i'm a sucker for a good deal.
I am very interested to hear any opinions on military tires when aired down to the single digits. Seems to me with double beadlock and about 5psi these military Michelin would be great.
