Military going from 9x20 bias split ring to 10r22.5 radial one piece wheels

[juanprado]

I noticed on a military train recently that the m149 water Buffalos had one piece wheels with radial 10r22.25 tires made by dunlop and Michelin on several other trailers.

I stumbled on the attached memo which I assume is from 2014 that over time with needed replacements, the split rim 9x20 bias will be unauthorized and replaced with radial one piece 10r22.5

Probably not coming to GL any time soon

Those would be some neat wheels to have a bunch of.

I'm sure they will have the manufacture's name stamped in them. We just need someone to find out who it is...

Could you just look it up by the new part number? Looks like our supply of NDT tires is going to dry up from surplus in the next few years.

Accuride 6 bolt rim from 2011 Accuride Catalog

Great job looking this up Juanprado and Matt, also the in the 2011 Accuride catalog they show this information. On the website they only showed the 19.5 rim available when searching. Hayes rim may also be available at a reasonable price. Guess now I know an option for the M146 without swapping out the axle.
