Drop Michele an e-mail at mknautz@total.net . Say that Dustin sent ya. She and her husband have a ton of ex-military tires to sell. They're located up in Montreal so expect a bit higher shipping than normal. I just received a set of 325/85R16 XML's from them for $400 for five tires and $270 freight to MN to give you an idea on pricing. They're good people to work with and I'd buy from them again.

They ride pretty damn good, actually. Way better than my 38" Gumbo Mudders ever did. And they flex excellent too, 0 psi- http://users.superford.org/ylobronc/tires/michelins/0psi.jpg

I run them on my '88 F350 expedition crewcab (popup camper, dual hyd. winches, 4.88s, etc.). I'm using 16X10" rims, which width do you have?

Chad :flipoff2: At least the sidewalls bulged. My Gumbo mudders would only shrink when I let the air out, hardly any sidewall bulge.

Charles- The wheels are 16x7's, the accuride ones off the fords.

More info on my tires/wheels can be seen here-

Ya know, I usually think those cheap steels are pretty damn ugly. But there's something about them with the Michelins that looks sweet. It's that cop car look, so to speak.

I like it. :D

If I had known how ell they fit on Accurides I wouldn't have spent $150 each on superstrong Stocktons with 1/2" centers 10" wide. But the added width moves them outboard 1.5" away from the front springs, my 11.00R16 XLs rubbed the front springs on full lock turns. The XMLs rub too but not as bad.
