Default I agree with Brian...

The 10:50 fit and look good and ride well..... quite a few on MLU have been using them.

I understand that they are getting harder to obtain and the suppliers are hesitant to run another batch of a few 100s without having some commitments to buy.

Lug nuts respond well to heat and penetrating oil and lots of torque..... watch the left side wheel which have reverse thread..... if you do not own your own air impact gun you may consider letting a truck tier shop remove the tires for you.

Good luck

Bob C

Hi Brian: I was just looking at possibly purchasing a set (4), (as discussed with Mr Carriere) However I'm in Vancouver and your in Ontario, so I'll PM you to see what it would cost to ship them here. I have a set on my HUP ZL and I have to admit.....they are cool to the vehicle. Talk to you shortly.....Robert

Thanks Bob and Brian. I'll try getting the wheels off myself but will definitely take the tires to a shop to have them installed. Good farm tire place in our vicinity.

Thanks, Drew

Best deal I have found for the military tires, including the 10.50-16 is to buy them from Summit Racing. They offer free shipping to the border.

I used to buy them at the conventions from Wallace Wade, but he wasn't at last year's convention. Just as easy to get them as I need them rather than stockpiling them.

Price on those 10:50s is up to $332US, so by the time a guy gets them here he could be up around $500 Cdn with the taxes. I am sitting on a spare set of them myself out in the shed where I think they will stay until needed.
