Search come up empty handed.....

Got a few HMMWV mounted wheels/tires here, how one can be sure that a run flat is mounted inside or not without disassemble anything:?:

Simply let the air out with it mounted on the vehicle.

That was my first idea....now R&R every unit that I have on my HMMWV to check will be time consuming. The ones mounted on my HMMWV they do have as I did air out and the wheels seats a few inches like if it was just with very low on air.

My second idea would be simply to measure the weight, disassemble one and weight the wheel, tire and run flat apart to find out individual weight , than just weight all other assembled units and compare ......problem is, I will need to find a scale first.

There's several different styles. (Rubber beadlock, rubber beadlock runflat, magnesium runflat) And tires can weigh a few pounds different on their own.
