Re: Millitary Tires

They may look good, but they drive like crap. On road and off. My restored '44 jeep now rocks a set of Hankook Dynapro MT's on 15x7 black Rockcrawlers while the 16" steel wheels and NDT's languish in the shed.

Much more compliant ride and more than 100% more rubber on the ground. 215 75 15 vs the 6.00 16. Both are run at 10 psi offroad.

Tall skinny mud grips are cool, get you some. Just don't get some old school bias tire... 235 85 16 BFG KM2's would rock and are just a little bigger than the 7.50 16" bias tire.
