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 👍🤠📿❤🇺🇸
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)
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.
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.

I like the way you explain it. Great job 👍
Very detailed presentation
Really good video. Great demonstration and editing (fast forward while you put on bolts)
Just ordered a set from you guys.. thanks a ton for posting the video
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.
Any problems mounting those in a dual set up like on the bus ?
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.
Wow... You did that very conscientious.
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 ?
Any video on getting the old tires un mounted off the hmmwv wheel? Thanks in advance
Hows did you set up the wheels as budds in the rear?
Nice job.
What chassis are you using under the bus?
Is it possible to run the set up you have on your bus with an f350?
Any adapters to run these on old jeep dodge Ford pattern
What’s the offset on these? Can you run TPMS sensors in them?
Any suggestions for surplus tire 16.5” that will be on road 90% of the time? 1995 Hummer.
Thanks for the video
How you get them on the rear on that bus size of tire and wheel any spacers
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!

where do I pick up the O'rings?
What is the torq spec on the 12 bolts?
125ft Lbs
My question is where do you find 16 and a 1/2 inch tires they seem to be very hard to come across.

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.
Maybe bart rims make some new bolt pattern cap
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
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 was here for the how to air up
How did you mount on the bus? I’m looking at getting some recentered to 8x6.5 pattern
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!
