Tires etc
Thanks for the comments gentlemen.
Alex: yes they're original tires, but they've seen better days and do need to be replaced. Rob: Your comment about the tires is technically accurate....'by the book' maybe. Ever wonder why you never see a farm tractor with the the chevron open-end down? Fills with mud in 2 seconds. Then they become slicks and quite useless. Same for directional cross country. The guy who designed them thought it'd be neat and efficient I suppose, theoretically better traction etc. But obviously he never drove directionals in dirt or mud. Troops figured it out faster than the designers did. You'd also be hard pressed to find a pic of a CMP min service that had tires mounted as prescribed for very long, if at all.
