There is a surplus dealer in Yuma, Az (520.783.6617) that occasionally has the 11:00-16 Michelin for sale. They are let out by the Army from the LAV tests there at the Proving Grounds. I've used a number of them, but over 50% of them fail soon into the running with sidewall blowouts. The LAV uses it (hard, I might add)in a true tubeless configuration, and on an M37 the necessity of a tube, even a radial tube, may precipitate this. I have ceased using them on trucks I sell for obvious reasons, and have gone to the Gama Goat combo described elsewhere. Not one critical failure to date with these, just a little more work. DG.
