    SMALLER! Tires and Wheels for a HMMWV Trailer

    I personally would not recommend using the older 8 stud rim with the older bias tires as it is not worth the one inch difference if that 36's vs 37's. Those tires are probably 10-15+ years old date codes as bias HMMWV and 8 stud rims have been out of favor for quite a while. YMMV

    SMALLER! Tires and Wheels for a HMMWV Trailer

    As stated, all older 8 lug non metric wheels should work. also common white wagon wheels at utility and boat trailer dealers will also work. These trailers are lug centric not hub centered so the diameter of the hub makes no difference.

    M101a2 wheel bearings question

    Bearings and seals are common civy items you can get at any parts store. Dive in and check them. Could be as simple as checking spindle nut adjustment. Tire pressure low or tire issues could also be the culprit.

    Goodyear MTR tires.....?

    I like the BFG baja's which are available in load range d or e. Good traction and equally good ride even with the run flats at 35 psi. YMMV

    NATO Plugs (Alternatives)

    I got mine and very impressed with it. Has overcharging and overheating protection built in so must have a gizmo board in it. Perfect solution for the hmmwv as the slave outlet is inside on the passenger seat box. No need for 12/24 convertor or tap a battery or 12v feed from the dual voltage...
