So I just got my first military truck today. It's a M923A2 and here are some pictures:

I noticed that in the second picture the tires look like they have stripes on the sidewalls. The sidewalls aren't smooth like a normal pickup truck tire, but they are wavy, and every tire is like this including the spare.
Are the tires supposed to be wavy?
Also, I'm looking for a set of tires right now because as I was driving around the block the drivers front tire blew a hole into itself. It wasn't a major blowout, but every rotation you could hear a puff of air come out of the tire. The CTIS lights kept changed after I started hearing the air come out of the tire. It went from having 1 light in the HWY button flashing to having the run flat light on I believe. I'm going through the TM right now to read more about the CTIS.
Now I'm just waiting for the weather to break to do a complete service on the truck and inspect everything while I wait for my SF-97 to go through!
