I got some but they are kinda bald, the ones on the 151 are from the 70's,the tire guy said do not drive at high speed, but I found with the military tires that go flat they still maintain halfway the shape, I could still drive at low speed for a ways(I did one time for about 1/2 mile)

I have some but there is no way I would sell them or even give them away. If someone put them on a vehicle and had an accident an someone got hurt the lawyers would be all over the seller of the tires. You may say you are never going on the road but................................ and even if you don't, a tire blows off road and you roll it and the passenger gets hurt or squished and dies. I go to jail. Sad to say but that is how it is nowadays, the lawyers will sue anyone in the trail of the tires.

I am going to lock this thread, I have gotten a fair amount of feedback from others about this and I agree. The general population wants old military vehicles banned from the road and the politicians are happy to oblige. We do not need to be giving them fuel for their fires by showing them that we are willingly driving unsafe vehicles anywhere. Who is going to believe that these vehicles will never see the road? Not me. I see it all the time at the shows. All this is doing is hurting the hobby the same as people wanting to walk down the street carrying a locked and loaded AR15 "just because they can"! All it accomplishes is pisses off more people in power. We do NOT need that.
