tires
Hello
The civilian tires were the same as those used on the 5/4 ton at the time, but smaller.
B.F.Goodrich Silvertown (something) traction 6.50x 16 lt 6 ply tubeless.
Similar ones were/are available from Firestone, Cooper, and Goodyear.
I found that they were better traction than the NDT's and our unit had them on our M151A2.
These may also be available in 7.50 x 16 sizes but i do not know how this would affect handling and control. Don't think that they are available in 7.00x 16.
I remember the ignition toggle switch going missing on the pool vehicles and i use to carry a spare one just in case i was assigned a vehicle missing one.
