Default Anybody run used military tires?

I kinda like the look of some of the military 37"s and It looks like I can get them less than 150 a tire... How do the things wear? Are they dot approved?

And if you could point me in the direction of a set of 16.5 inch wheels that would fit a 1990 f250 it would be a lot of help.

I got a set of the goodyear MTR's last month, from trailworthy fab. they were a little more than the mt's, but I liked the tread pattern a bit better. so far, so good, I put them on an old gmc k2500 I used as a daily driver/beater. they are heavy, rated at about 4000 lbs per tire, they ride pretty rough on the road. but, absolutely no problems with them, and for the price, I'm more than satisfied.

CSIPSD also got a set a while back, I was following his posts before I decided to get mine, he got a bad one and they shipped him a replacement free.

I heard about good reviews about 37s military tires. Just don't get 36s as they are not reliable off the road.
