Commando Dodge

Did anyone else see that military dodge in the latesest TDR? What I want to know it what size are thoes tires, they fill us the wheel wells perfectly. What I really want to know is how I can get one...

You will have to wait until the military officially adopts them, then many more years for them to appear on the surplus market (guards and reserves will get them first). I am sure that they will be very popular when they are finally avaialble.

If you are that anxious to drive one, you can always sign up. Just kidding. Actually, that's one thing about the military, you get to play with the big toys!

JR2,

The Earthroamer Expedition Dodge Truck is running Military tires.

They are Michelin 16X9 XZL's. I believe they are d. o. t approved. Load Range D. Will fit on an OE Dodge Wheel. Probably will need a minor lift. They are probably a strong tire. The military can't have flats. #ad
Don't know much about them. I'm curious to how much a tire is going for. Just saw 'Maxium tire speed" 62mph #ad


There are about 20 different truck tires to pick from, in all sizes: http://195. 154. 239. 168/truck/

NOTE: Bookmark Doug's site. It has great info of mods he has done to his truck. Great Photography. Also read how he bought AOL stock in '90 and now he's driving around the world as a hobby. #ad
