I-10 surplus has them for $40 each, with out the mag runflat, its 25$ exyra, get them for bias tires, 8 bolt wheels, the 12 for radials & not offer mag runflat. If you are at speed and blow a tire(70mph) you may save your life by the 2 piece mag, most people miss the outstanding protection it offers, it will allow the tire to stay on the wheel long enough to get to safe area, if you have a blowout on your present tires, you must stop and fix immediately or run the tire off the wheel and then you won't go far. I drove off i35 to a rest area and pulled my blowout off. If it would have been normal blowout i would have had to change it rite there on interstate iwth wall to wall trafic. I later got the tire repaired and salvaged it. If it had been normal flat at speed ruined tire wheel wrecker trip replacement etc. You donot need them with your driving, just thought you might think about why they were developed, no staglers changing tire under fire, the goodyear tires are being cut and siped that come with the hummer for some real low buck traction, hey they are 16.5 and you got to admit 16.5 and 44 inch tires would look and perform better than the 16 inch choices you get stuck with stock. www.usa6x6.com has them, it made me go where i never would for at least 1 week, now i air down and float over the wetland, before the mudgrip skinnys would bury me first hole, i drive all way around the ranch where before won't go until dry, i am in 40 inch rainfall area, sometimes 60 to 70 and all with a lot of rollerchopped brush senderos to poke tires, valvestems 60 miles from town. I think you will like them, hey first guy that sees and rifdes will buy them off u if disapointed, i am very non pinkbuyer, they worked for me. Please try , good luck!!!
