Most military tires are also steel carcass instead of nylon, so they'll likely be much heavier, which would stress everything that much more.

No sidewall flex, harsh ride on those military tires. Not many common tires fit that size rim. It's definitely a specialty size rim.

If it was a great, or even good option, they wouldn't be selling for $200 a set. :-(
Anyone having internet outage issues, or problems loading Google pages (gmail, search, youtube, drive, etc...)???
Seems to be a Georgia thing (and also California)

IF you are going this route... http://www.militaryoffroadtires.net/. Inexpensive wheels and tIres.
EMS Powered sells a wheel adapter to bolt a dual bead lock humvee wheel directly to an 80.
You would have to contact them about fitting on a 40 or 60.
Found some 35's on craigslist for 150 but they are 12.5 wide. I talked to the owner this morning but gonna wait.
You're going to do some serious lifting to fit 35's
I have a body lift, just not installed.
19 axles under that badboy. Delivering part of the press.
WOW!!! What is that thing?
Part of a new press being delivered to the plant. 2 of them came in. In the middle of the trailer someone can steer and also at the very end. It was so long that they had to back it out of the plant.
What plant do you work at?
Those military tires are probably the old style Goodyear MT. Guys run them but not the best option, 16.5 are known for slipping off the bead without beadlocks. I would pass. What size rim are the 35x12.5? That is the most common width so not sure what other size you were hoping to find.
15" rim. I contacted fj80 about those 17" marsh wheels. Thinking about going that route.
Magna drive automotive in donaldson center.
We wheeling this coming weekend or what? Hoping axle is done and i can come out Saturday.

Just let 60 temps go. How launching new car though. Might be hiring in couple mos. Got to start as temp though.
