Unstoppable Beast: Installing Military Run-Flat Tires on a Humvee!

[@McSpeedAlaskanAdventures]

Make sure to check the date stamp on the new tires - it is common for them to sell "new" tires that are aged out. This is a point of controversy in the on-line universe - but you want to shy away from tires more than six years old - some will say Military are good for 10. We have limited access to 16.5 tires that are 37. Interco makes some as well - but otherwise we are stuck with the Military tires.

Also important fact without the run flat gel added that tire wont last 2 minutes without air in it

Goodyear marks the "heavy spot" on those new tires with a RED dot of paint. The RED dot is then aligned 180 degrees "opposite" the inflation valve fitting. Also, noticed the 3rd screw-band Clamp has been left off the Air Filter Housing. Oh, one last thing, did you discover the cooling system drain cock yet?🙄

Looking forward to seeing how this camper build turns out! Subbed

[@roamingventures]

Thanks for the sub!

Some dope looking tires on that thing!

[@roamingventures]

It’s coming!

Our run flats are always a pain to change and keep balanced.

Forgot the runflat lube/juice it looks like (unless it was off camera). Hope you don't actually have to drive on the runflats - it'll smoke like crazy.

[@roamingventures]

Yeah I put it on off camera. Haha I hope I don't have to use them

[@hummerguy]

Feltz would actually install the runflats for $30 a tire, but those new tires looking nice, make sure your alignment is good, I ran through my front 2 in about a year because I didn't get my alignment done

[@roamingventures]

Haha dang I didn’t know Feltz did that 😬!

[@UncoolDean]

Should have raced that thing in Daytona

[@roamingventures]

Next year for sure 😜

There is a special ratchet tool to do this and is very inexpensive to buy
