Got all 6 tires mounted on the truck Friday, now I need to figure out how to modify the spare tire carrier for the spare.
I think the 16s without runflat inserts are lighter than the 14s with them. Though maybe I was just tired at the end of the day when I had to move all the 14s.
Finished up all seven tires this morning. Got it down to about 45 minutes per tire including air up. Now to find time to get these mounted.

I haven't had the privilege of flatting a military tire yet but I figured the 20 bolts holding the bead would hold it together, but I guess that is only the one side of the wheel...
Going to tackle my wheels soon. I have 7 HEMTT wheels back from powdercoat and all the tires waiting to be built up. My question, do I need to use these Hutchinson beadlock inserts? Not sure how easy they are to get in but they look much easier (and are a lot lighter) than the hard rubber...
Do you guys recommend running the lug nuts mentioned even for 939 series trucks? I have my HEMTT wheels back from powdercoat and hope to tackle this job sometime in the next month or so.
