Has anyone tired running 385/65R 22.5? I can get these all day for decent money barely used. They don't have an extremely aggressive tread but they will work for service roads. The Power Company has large class 6/7 4x4 trucks that have good Highway Speed; I will see what tires they run also. I...
I guess I need to research the tire issue although I may have already experienced it. Blown tire for no reason traveling between Alabama and Virginia at 55-58 MPH. It was also an extremely hot day.

I have access to a large number of fullsize school buses and various other larger vehicles with similar sized axles. Does anyone know if some other (non-military) vehicles have gears that would work? The military has been big about using COTS (Commercial Off The Shelf) parts for years now and I...
Is this reported mpg a one off or are most people seeing close to this?
My Landcruiser gets 14 MPG. My truck is getting about 60 on the GPS stock. I haven't figured out the mileage yet, but I know it is single digit.
Thanks
