running 11.00 X 16 Michelin XL with tube?

[dodgedougak]

I am thinking about running 11.00 X 16 Michelin XL tires on my M37 16" X 6.5" rims. According to the Michelin website, the 6.5" rims will be OK, but these are tubeless tires. Has anyone run them on military combat rims with tubes in them? Thanks

I have been using the 11.00 R 16 michelins for a few years. The trick is finding the tubes and flaps for radial tires and budd styly wheels. You will still need the same setup even with combat wheels. international tire and tube is where I have always gotten them from. But I do believe John at midwestmil has them.
