Each segement weighs; 15 lbs so total run-flat weight 45 lbs. Excludes the 2 beadlocks and inner rim cover.

Great news and thanks

I want to remain safe and sound. Thanks for the reinforcement to use double bead-locks. (If I get the double bead-locks, are you still interested in what I remove??) BTW, found the following. This is the same set-up that I presently have. HM-981 | HMMWV Run Flat Insert Kit Multi-Part HMMWV Run...

Thanks The statement makes lots of sense. Looks like best option is to remove the run-flats as a whole and install double bead-locks to avoid having the tire come off. I have checked http://www.trailworthyfab.com/Hummer-Wheel-PVC-Insert.html . These seem to ensure the tire stays against the...

Just for clarity, I summarized the run-flats that I just removed. I checked Hutchinson's website and did not find the type I have. It seems these were manufactured in 2018. I think best to find the double bead-locks and install same. I am sure that balancing will be better rather than...

Yes, 3 pieces for the main run-flat, 2 each beadlocks and 1 internal rim cover. Then you have the tire, rim halves, ring gasket, valve stem and 24 paired lugs.

Sending some more fotos;

Have included lots of fotos of the tire / rim dis-assembly. Everything looks great, even the rims (will measure tomorrow) and inside of tire. These run-flats are different to the ones shown in the old TMs. Will look more closely to confirm there are no cracks in the run-flats. Have included part...

Finally got the spare tire opened up. It has magnesium runflats. (I though the Army and possibly other military branches discontinued the magnesium type!!???) Is it possible to remove the run-flats and reinflate the tires -or- are double bead-locks required. I never de-flate the tires to less...

Thanks Not sure why the 2 rim / tires sets are out of round.

I have purchased the Centramatics but have not installed as I still need to change out two (2) bent rims. I do not think that I can changed these out by myself so wondering if someone knows of a place near Incline Village, NV that could do the work. (I can travel as far as Sacramento, CA). I...

Thanks Glad to know others are using the Centrmatics.

Thanks

Will do, I trust myself for the measurements. I have never used wheel balancers, do they work? Have you used these before?? I just checked Centrimatics website and they have Hummer H1 Model 370-800 for sale at USD 279 for 4 pieces. (Presume these will fit the Humvee) That is a reasonable...

Thanks Responses on SteelSolders Forum are very helpful and guide the blind from making mistakes!! BTW, I agree, the run-flats save lives. I just went on the Mod Mafia website. Too pricey and their rims will not allow me to use my existing tires so it is a "No-Go". If I can get the out of...

Thanks I agree, run-flats are so much pain. Wish I had the money to purchase the Hutchinson (www.hutchinsoninc.com/) Rock Monster rims (double bead-locks) for HMMWV / H1. I do not think Hutchinson sells direct but did find a website that does; www.modmafia.com The set up is called "Mod Mafia...

thanks for response. Crazy to have fight with these tires and rims!!!

I took my HMMWV to get all ( 1.5 years old with 5K miles) wheels balanced, including the spare tire (37x12.5x16.50 Radial Load E MTR). The dealer was able to balance the 4 but was unable to balance the spare that has never been installed. The dealer said the spare rim was out-of-round. When I...
