Those are the tires from the G-wagon. Michelin advised the DND about 3 years ago or so that they were going to quit producing them, so the DND changed all the tires and rims on the G-wagons over to a Wrangler instead. Units usually did it on mass. Here in Shilo, one of the units offered all their tires to the museum, which we took. Otherwise, supply was going to make them tear them all down in order to turn in as scrap metal and scrap rubber. I had already used this size on a few of the vehicles at the museum.
They are a very heavy duty tire, and the bead is fairly tight on them. But they look good, although a little smallish on the CMPs. They are perfect for limbers and HUPs, and we also have a set on the Dodge M37 at work. They do not look balloonish like the LSVW tires.
They were also showing up on CADC out of Toronto, being sold on pallets of 4 or 5. They were fetching from 500 a set up t around $1500 a set. The odd one might even have a runflat in them.
