The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area General Truck Talk 16in military tires

Ok... after running a through search and comming up empty......

I place this in the capable hands of everyone....
I have 3 NOS(new old stock) 700/16 military tread tires (never mounted) and 4 good used 700/16 military tread tires...(2 mounted on 6 lug mil-spec rims)..

Ouestion is..... what the heck should I ask for them in the swap-meet section?? what are they worth?? and are they worth keeping??

thanks
Michael

That tire size is off a Jeep.
New they are about $100.00 US
too bad they arn't 9.00/16 I could use then for my
Powerwagon

thanks... I'll see about posting them over on a jeep site

I found those here in texas for 85 bucks a piece, after every other tire dealer said they couldn't get any. I am putting them on my 64 gmc k1000, I think they will look cool.

There a jeep site called g503 or something, pretty interesting. All the jeeps I had had five lug wheels.

Fireballv8---be carefull putting those wheels on your 64, they have absolutely no road grip in the rain or on wet pavement. Great for off road, snow, mud, but wet asphalt, a wreck waiting to happen unless you drive reallllly slow. voice of experience here.

I wouldn't use them in the snow either, at least on pavement. Years ago I had set on an IH Scout. One frosty morning I stepped on the brakes and went right around backwards. Those tires came off as soon as I got back home! I've heard them called "grave diggers".

They have most sizes in stock.

Those Military tires are Non-Directional--I.E: under
hard braking on wet Roads they skid in no perticular
Direction!
