G-wagon tires on CADC

There are a few lots of these tires listed, and I am sure many more to come. A year or two ago Michelin indicated to the DND that they would no longer be making the 8.25-16 tire that the army has been using on the G-wagons. So the army went to Wrangler tires and bought all new rims.

The old tires are usually quite serviceable, and will range from new to somewhat used. I have installed the tires on the M37 at work along with some of the artillery limbers. The tire beads have to be skived, but are very heavy duty, and don't look out of place. On the M37, it gives fantastic traction.

So here are pallets of 5 in Toronto that will likely go for less than $400. After you are done you can likely take the aluminum rims to the local scrapyard and get $10 a piece, or else make some hillbilly art out of them.


These would not look out of place on a smaller chassis cmp like a HUP, which seemed to use a smaller 9.00-16.
