I had a buddy who needed singles for his 800 tractor. The lmtv wheels bolt up nice. I gave him the 5 Michelins that came on the 1078 that I drive. I had driven it for a while on these tires and the tread was around 30% but they were still good tires. I think they were around 10 years old but not uncommon age for mil surplus tires. I had one other Michelin it was a spare from one of my parts trucks. It looked good and had decent tread. He had seen the first five and I had texted him a pic of the 6th. He put the 6 on and a few hours later the 6th tire blew out. Here is the pic of the tire before it blew I had the pic since I had sent him a text of the tire. And a pic of it blown. I am thinking it dry rotted from the inside out. It looks like the 14.00/20 Michelins look when they blow out. So anyone driving on Michelins should be just a bit extra careful.
