How To Mount Military Surplus 16.5" 2-Piece HMMWV Rims (12-Bolt or 24-Bolt)
This step-by-step tutorial will guide you through how to mount and assemble a 2-piece 16.5" military wheel on a 37x12.5R16.5 BFGoodrich Baja T/A Hummer / H1 tire (with a run flat installed).
While this example uses a 12-bolt rim specifically (the 2nd gen w/ alignment hole), the same steps apply for evenly-spaced 24-bolt wheels, the tandem-style (E-Rated) 24-bolt, and most modified/re-centered Humvee rims as well!

How To Install Hummer H1 Tire Runflats (Ratchet-Strap Edition)
มุมมอง 9K3 ปีที่แล้ว
We'll show you how to install the most common type of rubber runflat insert found in military surplus 37x12.5R16.5 HMMWV tires - and using tools you're likely to already have in the garage! The tire used in this demonstration is a BFGoodrich Baja T/A, but these same installation techniques still work with the military 37" Goodyear Wrangler MT oz, the Goodyear Wrangler MT/R, and the newly releas...
Removing 22.5 Dayton Style Demountable Truck Rims With a Blue Cobra Tire Tool

Quick video detailing how to remove a steel demountable rim from an 11R22.5 using the Ken-Tool Blue Cobra Tire Bar (P/N: 35440).
Those things are widow makers! I’ve seen them explode in 1/2. I LOVE the rims but I won’t change them myself.
You're thinking of split rims. These aren't those. These are DOT rated bead lock wheels actually.
I just did the first one on my M1097! Excellent how to! Thank UUUU!
Excelente gracias por compartir
Maybe bart rims make some new bolt pattern cap
Any adapters to run these on old jeep dodge Ford pattern
Hows did you set up the wheels as budds in the rear?
What’s the offset on these? Can you run TPMS sensors in them?
Is it possible to run the set up you have on your bus with an f350?
Good video. I done it same way for years except if you google search an “endless” ratchet strap- I took old 2” ratchet strap and made it an endless. Then cut the strap down to length by trial to get the length right. Years later found Dave that used to own Blue Hummer (aftermarket hummer parts sales) sold them cut to length already. Then found the easiest and fastest way from a video. Take a bottle jack, set innthe middle of the runflat, unscrew the end all the way and jack it up. It will egg shape the circle. With tire base held apart at bottom by a strap on each bottom bead- drop in the runflat with jack and release the jack. It works amazing. I typed it out so you know I am not just spamming with the video link. Hope it helps you and your watchers. And yes I agree the MTs are the hardest (what I run now just for cost). I experimented with a few other hummer guys all trying out different 16.5 tires and the best ones for all different off road applications except for mud- the Goodyear Wrangler GS-A. It sure didn’t look impressive which is actually why they went away unfortunately. Political nonsense of people making decisions ut didn’t see performance testing just decided the MT must be the best because it looks the most off road capable. SMH I sure miss having those on mine. I know a ton more about the Goodyear different tires in these sizes- spent a few hours talking to the head of the department at Goodyear years back about them all. Hit me with any questions. Anyway- check out this genius dude showing it- ive no idea who he is but owe him a beer or big soda! m.th-cam.com/users/shortsVw5RhUZ7v9Q
I FORGOT- 4” square tube on the bottom of jack when you put it in for correct height.
Nice job. What chassis are you using under the bus?
use a bottle jack, look up how the PEX system is installed. EZ PZ.
Any video on getting the old tires un mounted off the hmmwv wheel? Thanks in advance
Awesome video! I just bought my tires from you guys a day ago! I can’t wait to install them myself! Glad I found your video! Jonathan Williams
I picked up 5 new tires just a month ago from them....great tires for a great price.
I like the way you explain it. Great job 👍
Any suggestions for surplus tire 16.5” that will be on road 90% of the time? 1995 Hummer.
Thanks for the video
Just ordered a set from you guys.. thanks a ton for posting the video
how did you get the dully set up working on the back of the bus?
Hi there, just got my hands on some 24bolts and I noticed that it’s pretty hard to screw the nuts keeping the two halves of the rim together, I have a “hobby-kind” electric impact wrench and it struggles screwing those down, are those intended to be that way so that they don’t unscrew while driving or should I give the threads a good clean? Maybe going through them with a tap or a die (The studs are a bit rusty)
Would you recommend I remove the run flats to reduce weight on the tire if I’m running them on my 77 dodge w300? Will that matter ?
bet there isnt a lot of tire places that we sell you tires
We actually get new old stock and good used 37" 16.5's all the time through government surplus, so we should be good for years yet!
Clever method to insert the runflats ! Seeing the pain it is to remove them I was thinking it was impossible to get them back in. So now I can think about trying to remove them ! Thx
My question is where do you find 16 and a 1/2 inch tires they seem to be very hard to come across.
The US military still uses a 37" x 12.50R16.5LT on their HMMWV's (which we stock and sell regularly), but a radial 16.5 in any size other than a 37" is almost nonexistent now unfortunately. You can still technically find quite a few different options in a bias-ply 16.5, but they tend to be expensive and wear out quickly when used on the highway, since those are usually designed more as an off-road/mud terrain tire.
You have any videos on the bus in the back ground
How you get them on the rear on that bus size of tire and wheel any spacers
Really good video. Great demonstration and editing (fast forward while you put on bolts)
I was here for the how to air up
😂 Just like that! Okay, nice job.. Now I know why roadside charges like they do...
Any info on the DRW humvee wheels? I assume they're just re-welded centers?
Yep, all of the wheels had to be re-centered by Stazworks. Also used a spacer between each set of duals in the rear to keep them gapped properly.
How did you mount on the bus? I’m looking at getting some recentered to 8x6.5 pattern
So do you recommend the BFG KO2s then? How quickly do run flats wear out the tires for someone who will be daily driving the vehicle?
The standard low-profile runflat is 23" in diameter, so it technically only comes into contact with the tire internally at the lower end of the pressure spectrum. Unless you're airing down enough for that to happen and proceeding to drive on the runflats (in which case you definitely need to use the rf lubricant as well), they normally don't have a detrimental effect on the longevity of the tire, at least not in a structural sense. As far as their influence on treadwear, the weight of the runflat does increase the rotational mass (they weigh 35 lbs), but it's hard to quantify to what degree that impacts the wear rate on its own. Its more of an issue if the weight or positioning of the insert is off enough that it severely alters the overall balance of the wheel and tire considerably, which would lead to abnormal treadwear over time (as any off-balance tire would).
@@FeltzTire thank you for the awesome reply! Where can I buy the rf lubricant? I’ll be airing down for rock crawling so definitely will be needing it.
HPG (Hummer Parts Guy) generally stocks it, but you might be able to find it elsewhere under the Hutchinson P/N: D528235-H1 www.hummerpartsguy.com/LUBRICANT-RUNFLAT-1-TUBE_p_24187.html
@@FeltzTire Thank you!
What is the torq spec on the 12 bolts?
125ft Lbs
where do I pick up the O'rings?
Hey Guys GREAT VIDEO... I have watched this video now for the 2nd time... I also have just here recently bought a set of 4 tires you folks pulled off the M1123 HUMVEE slantback that you guys are selling on Ebay... I got them and am now looking to get myself 2 more 12 bolt beadlocks for My 1990 M998 HUMMER... The TIRES you guys sent to me down here where I live in KY are in DAM good shape and I was very surprised and Tickled you guys gave me an extra Humvee WHEEL... Look forward to doing business with you folks again sometime in the future... Thank you All... And GOD BLESS 👍🤠📿❤🇺🇸
i watch this take upwards of 45 minutes sometimes. is it this easy and fast with basically all humvee variants?
Runflat installation is undoubtedly easier with the BFGoodrich tires, at least relative to the Goodyear options for the HMMWV. Even though the install process is the same, the Goodyear Wrangler MT and MT/R both have notably stiffer sidewalls, so it sometimes helps to let those sit overnight in a warm garage with something propped between the beads (like a set of bar clamp/spreaders, blocks of wood, etc). Doing so can make a big difference, considering that most tires are shipped LTL while banded to a pallet (which already tends to sandwich them down slightly).
@@FeltzTire I'm just going around learning to understand the humvee better, it's not my actual job nor am I in charge of anything (mil=retarded xD) so keeping them warm overnight probably isn't an option. However, I still should be able to do it much faster having seen this. I watched like 10 people take 45 minutes to get a runflat in what I believe was a goodyear, boinking it with a sledgehammer 500 times. genuinely hilarious
Any problems mounting those in a dual set up like on the bus ?
Reckon he’s done that a few times ?
Eh, just a few hundred!
Very detailed presentation
I’m about to go try this method but with the Hutchinson strap tool instead of the ratchet you used. I’m hoping this goes even half as easily as yours did. Thank you for the video!!
Wow... You did that very conscientious.
The hardest part is breaking the bead. These tires had the bead broke before the camera started filming.
th-cam.com/video/Vw5RhUZ7v9Q/w-d-xo.html
Do you have the video of a complete strip down of tyre and run flat from rim?
Unfortunately we don't have one yet, but that wouldn't be bad idea. I'll make sure to remember that for next time!
Jesus! You did that fast. Thanks for the info~ gotta swap a blowout. Gonna cut the runflat out and use this to out it inside the new tire.
Use the ratchet strap to remove it. It’s the same Methode but in reverse and you don’t need the mallet to get it out. Just remember to lube the bead lock a little and the run flat will kind of just pop out. Best part, the run flat is already in the ratchet so move it to the new tire.
NetAssassin i will try bolt cutters first. The tire is shredded on the sidewalls. No need to handle the tire more than I have to.
Easiest way to REMOVE the run flat is: 1. strap the tire to a big tree. 2: strap or chain the run flat to your bumper. 3. Drive away and the run flat pops-out easy-peasy.
Any plan for that 40 series at 3:48?
That's a personal side project the gentleman in the video is currently working on. I think his plan is more of a general rebuild (he's switching out the old weather stripping as I type this), but that's all I got out of him.
Ok. Got it. Thanks for reply
Damn I feel like an expert after this fantastic, in-depth look. Also, when did Gabdalf's little brother start filming tire change tutorials?
Apparently last Tuesday.
How can I have this blue cobra
waaaaw good job thanks
