Wheel/Tire question

[rcassettyjr]

I am in the process of collecting parts for a project. I ran across a set of Michelin 16.00R20 tires on some odd looking rims.

What is a set of 4 of these tires worth and do the rims have any value? Also what are they from? Is there anything to watch out for on these tires? They look good and have very little wear.

Thanks

Those rims look like FMTV rims and tires !!!

But will they fit an 800 series?

Used tires are generally sold from $75-$200 each, depending on condition, location, and availability. The rims have minimal value in stock form to most people, but could be reworked/recentered and become useful. Rims are from Oshkosh M1074/M1075 PLS 10x10.

FMTV wheels will work great on an 800 series, but the rims pictured above are not from FMTV.

James is correct, the PLS wheels shown will NOT fit an M809 series truck.

The 10-hole pattern on the PLS wheels is the larger, truck pattern.

The tires will work fine, but you'll need different wheels. As for what to look for, check for any deep cuts / gouges and make sure that they hold air. Look for uneven wear patterns.
