paradeduty, by that logic though, wouldn't you think the combat wheels would do an even better job of keeping tires from peeling off wheels? I'd really need to take one apart to know, and I'm not quite that curious right now.

...or profitable. Appreciate the input/advice, and won't disregard it, but also don't believe everything the military does makes sense. Might be the case that there's a good reason why we can't/shouldn't use them, and then again...
