Military Michelins

[Texican]

Are these the same size as the 11.00 X 16's? 38"??? I like the steel rims, what are they off?

I know the answer to the wheel question.... Tundra Sequoia and Tacoma 16" spares, I got a set form one of my buds that works at a Toyota dealership for $25 each....from this thread

Those are the 325/85R16, which I believe is the same size as the 11.00 x 16.

I really like the XML pattern

But those tires are rare to find .. I con buy those in some tire site . ?

I'm encouraged that BJOWETT is running 325/85R16's (same size as the 11.00R16's) with only 2.5" of lift. I'm hoping that the 11.00R16's will fit with my current Slee 6" system without the need of a small 2" body lift or any fender cutting. I will be buying a grooving/siping tool as from what I have read siping the tread blocks will make the tires behave better on the street in the wet and in the snow as well. I'll post pics once they arrive and are on the truck.

Does anyone have any pics of grooving the sidewalls? I have never heard of that before. Is that highway safe?

i do not reccomend the XL tread pattern for any street driving at all.

This is the softest military compound used, if you spend the money
look at any other tread. xl you get are dirt cheap then burn them up.

xml xzl

these smaller sizes do not have IMO enough to groove the sidewalls, larger sizes ok, and not really something i would do if you highway it.

He's not running those. He and a friend just stuck one on the rear of his friend's ride a few years back to see what they'd look like.

Just type in "Michelin XML" or whatever and see all the pretty pictures.

michelin website, canada version. Lists current availablitiy and sizes, other tread styles and sizes are out there but can be harder to put your hands on.

sorry no linky, lost alot in the last HD crash.


Please note there are thread changes with size changes, specifically the xzl



There are also older versions of some treads, xs xcl

They fit a 2.5" lift, but that rig never left the driveway. I doubt it would flex very far before some body contact took place. The flipoff was intended to present it as a joke... sorry!

Now 6" might do just fine... My 37/13.50R17 MT Claws clear with a 2.5 - 3" lift, rolled rear fenders, and a 2" bump stop drop.

 

[MSGGrunt]

FedEx has them scheduled for delivery tomorrow so I will know soon if they fit with no rubbing. I will be sure to post pics to show the fitment with 6" of lift. I'm realistic and know that I still may have to do a 2" body lift as well.

What's the backspacing on those?

 

[Texican]

What's the backspacing on those?

dunno, they fit on the 80 fine so it must be 4-5''

 

[ats4x4dotcom]

I think the correct term for those steel rims on an 80 is "ghetto" wheels

 

[WristPin]

you owe me.
