which tire you would prefer

[GetSum]

So if we find “Little Joe” over in HaZjAkIsTaN can I import some fine US made surplus high-back seats legally?

Follow up question. Simply because the availabilities are currently rather poor
How big can the tire be maximum on a stock 1123? 38.5? 39?

IROK makes a 39.5" tire that fits a stock HMMWV as long as the springs aren't sagging.
As far as I know that's the biggest. Only caveat is with that tire size you can no longer run tire chains.

(the military tire chains add about 1" to each side of the tire, so on a 37" tire that makes it about 39", along with adding 1/2-3/4" to the inside/outside walls)

This what I'm thinking about doing later when I get my humvee over here but I will no doubt eventually give it a 2 inch body lift and 2 inch lift on the springs too

Can’t you add links to the stock chains to make them fit? Or are you referring to the overall tire height and width?

I meant overall size. With a rubber tire if something makes contact, you get a little rubber friction. If a tire chain makes contact, you can have some serious damage.
