I'm putting a new set of MTR tires on my HMMWV, I noticed on the side wall of the MTR's it says not to mix with MT tires, anyone know why ? I always heard not to mix bias ply and radial ply tires but the MT's and MTR's are both radials. I am planning to keep my best MT tire as a spare and put my 4 new MTR's on the road.
I had a blow out couple weeks ago running down the turnpike here in FL, right front tire, one of my original MT tires with the run-flat and aside from a sound difference it was a non event, run-flat did a great job. That event prompted me to change my MT tires. 3 of my MT tires were date coded 04, my best MT tire is coded 15 (that will be my spare) all MTR's are coded 16.
But back to original question ... why do the MTR's say don't mix with MT's ?
