    Several ways. Some say do it with the engine running so it blows the chips out. Some say use a vacuum and suck the chips while drilling and tapping. Some say pack the flutes with grease to make the chips stick to the grease and wipe frequently. I watch a machinist on yt and he uses cutting...

    Tire options and where to buy

    If you get 395s on the lmtv wheels and dont want the ctis hooked then you’ll have to either swap valve stems out for something that has an internal valve core, or find an adapter that threads onto the lmtv valve stem. I went to several tire shops in my area, including those that service big...

I had lmtv wheels with 395s, but the valve stem body needed...
