[QUOTE="KP81, post: 1500841, member: 16020"] My .02 cents as a MT Marine. They suck. great for a tow rig. They don't clean out great, the tread is super hard. I wouldn't consider them offroad for a light vehicle. They DO buldge out at low pressure even with a run flat they will flatten out almost as much as a a tire with out. the run flats just keep the weight off the side wall in order to keep the side walls from tearing on pavement when they are flat. dont think that will effect it offroad to much. If they do go flat on pavement they are rated at 25 miles at 25 mph before they heat up enough to melt. Another thing about these tires is you are going to find they are old. When we upgraded to the newer series of HMMWV they started using real MTRK. Those should be showing up for sale soon since we started using them about 6 years ago. They are the old tread pattern and the military still can get the old tread as new tires and the manufacture date is recent. [/QUOTE]
