hey yall just wanted to show off my rockets new shoes
37"x12.5"x16.5" thats how us rednecks measure em!
for the standardly challenged thats: 318/82 16.5
theyre goodyear wrangler MT/Military OZ
and for those of u who are serving our country or have served before, these are the same OEM's on our nations Humvee's
they are awesome the ride is way better! and theyre suprisngly quiet, or maybe theyre loud? and i just cant hear them over the big block.
i found this lil article online and i had no idea they were this hard to get, i stole em at 650.00 for the set guess my bro didnt know any better
im going to have to get a different spare tho i guess because they're was only 4 of em
"The H1 tire arena is getting more complicated every day. The issues involve not only which tire to get but which tire will fit the wheels you own or are planning to get. All the Hummer wheels up to the model year 2000 are 16.5 inches in diameter. In 2000 we saw the first 17" factory aluminum wheel and by 2001 all the factory wheels were 17". Goodyear stopped making 16.5" GSA's and the 16.5" MT's are impossible to get due to the military's demand. If you have 16.5" wheels your choice is becoming limited and prices are rising. If you are running 16.5's make sure that you have a spare. If you get caught out on the road nobody will have a replacement tire."

If I ever get stuck in deep mud (AGAIN) in the US, I want something like that pulling my lame-ass out 
What's the deal with the angled front bars? I'm struggling to imagine why they're at that angle, unless of course you're into doing a lot of reverse-wheelies, in which case, awesome
