I was at West Point this weekend and went down to their Humvee motor pool, and yes, every single one had these 37x12.5R16.5 Goodyear Wrangler MT tires.

Wonder if all Humvees have these tires? Are these really the best tires for that vehicle and what the Army expects it to do? The tread hardly looked more aggressive than what came stock on my AWD DAK.

Anyone with experience with this brand...do the MTs really work good? (I'd bet ya BF Goodrich ATs in the same size would be better, unless the military got a hot steaming deal from Goodyear)

I got the Good year wrangler rt/s. This tread pattern is a good hybrid. The MT are good performers on all terrain. I looked at several mags when the new tread pattern was released. They loved it. It has wide groves for mud to get out of the pattern. The BFG AT is a good off road tire. But in the mud the MT did better than my bros ATs. My bro has a ford ranger and my freind has a jeep cherroke with the MTs. I am sure Goodyear gave the military a good deal on the military contract. If I was going for a Mud terrain tire these are ones I would consider. Mud terrain tires ware to quick for my budget tho.

Hello, I seen your question while looking for prices of the tire your talking about. I have a set of the 36's but they are of the oz type. The tires that I have came with my 1984 X-military Blazer. The tires hold up real well and take one hell of a pounding. I love them. I am looking to put new ones on my truck. I get them in great shape used from a place here in Wisconsin where I live. The site is alfaheaven.com go to his tire section to the left of the front page. He sells alot of tires at very cheap prices. I baught my Blazer from this guy and I am very happy with it also. He is a good old boy and very straight up and front about what he sells. If your looking to put good tires on your truck for a good price I would recomend checking him out.
If you have any question about him or need someone to look over a set your interested in drop me an email. I can take a look at them for you. He has alot of the Hummve tires, that is what mine came off of.
