Got the tires installed. It took hours, but wasn't all that bad with the right technique. I posted to another thread here a video link. Hopefully it will help somebody in the future that is contemplating it. Thanks for all the input while I tried to make the best decision for my wallet and...

New tires came yesterday! AWESOME tires! I also spent time talking to Super Swamper. Really nice people. The tread is pretty different than the stock tires. The inserts are coming next and the o-rings...then the fun. By fun I mean hours of misery...but the pay off will be good when I have...

Never mind - just looked. My rims are stamped max tire pressure 50 psi. Based on the calculations of load, I'll never have a need to run over 35 psi, and the tires are okay with that (the Super Swampers).

Correction. 3900 per tire at 65 psi

Does anybody know if the stock max tire psi of 30 on the Humvee is due to the tire or the rim? My new tires can go to 65 psi at 2,900 lbs of load per tire. They are radial. But at 32.5 psi they will support a combined total gvw of 8,000 lbs.

I think I'm going to do the PVC insert. I already bought the tires in 16.5 - they will be here soon. I would love to do a standard rim - that's what I started out after...but I argue against myself on that for other reasons.

**UPDATE** I toyed with the idea of getting the Treadright tires. I went to their website and got a quote. Excellent prices and claims a two year warranty "free shipping" to the front door. But...I went to the BBB and saw they don't have a good rep there. I also tried calling them three...

Yep, and I don't feel good about squeezing on to the rim - even if only .5 more narrow. Not a big fan of running a more narrow tire in general either.

I'm liking the idea of those Dodge Ram steel rims (for now) but...aren't they 1" or so more narrow than a stock Humvee wheel? I need to do something soon - we are in the good driving season...and I just don't trust these old tires at 55 mph on hot roads.

nailed it.

what size tires?

Those look PERFECT. I love them. Sending my kid to Aviation camp this summer and a trip to see his uncle in Alaska. That has wiped out my budget! But, I'd be all over those and I think that is a reasonable price for all.

So, our stock tire size is 37 x 12.5 x 16.5...right? Are there any aftermarket tires in this size or perhaps up to 40" that would go on the stock rim? I'm having a hard time searching those too. 17" - no problem. But 16.5 is. I date stamp checked my tires - they were all made in 2008 and...

this is a H2 wheel? Would any 2500 or 3500 GM truck also work then?

I like those

I'm looking for basic "custom" cast wheels in the 18" or so variety that would update the looks a bit, and give me a more common wheel/tire for service and use. Tires are in great shape on my M998, but they are "aged" and I don't feel comfortable with them running over hot summer time roads at...
