M116A2 Trailer Tires questions

[73fj55]

I found a military trailer recently and used it to move some storage. Doing about 55-65 mph on the freeway for a couple of hours and the tread started to come off one of the tires. I found some of these tires at IFA, Intermountain Farmers Association for $159 a piece. http://www.garbee.net/~cabell/december/tires/gripspur.JPG

There is not a speed rating on these. I am just wondering what speeds I can safely go without having any troubles. Some say its a military/farm tire don't go over 45, others say whatever.

Thanks

Find out who the manufacturer is and ask them.

Or ask Cabell Garbee, whose Dodge M37 photo you are linking to, at either his email address cgarbee at ipass.net (replace at with @) or ask him on the M37 BBS at http://www.g741.org/cgi-bin/dcforum/dcboard.cgi After all, he owns a set. If there's a MPH restriction on the tires, it should be molded into the sidewall.

Those look kinda like Buckshot mudders. I bet they'd be fine on the highway (minus the noise).
