If you are driving a MV at its reasonable speed say 55 on a highway where everyone else travels at say 75 you need flashing amber lights or strobes on the back of your truck. They are easy to magnet mount and you can tap into the rear lights for power.

The military speed rates at loaded capacity though. Not empty like most people drive. The truck in general isnt really made to go over 57. With the M939A1 an unintended consequence of larger tires was higher speed.

Good think no one was hurt you are lucky.

Those older style Michelins are bad news all around. They are notorious for disentegrating like your picture. They dry rot and you dont always catch it on a quick visual inspection.

Just because you can does not mean it's a great idea to do it. I think your fronts and rears should be within 10 psi of each other.

It's not like the mil trucks are the only oversize vehicles people push the limits in. I see triaxle dumps and other heavy haulers flyng down the highway all the time. In my civ car if traffic is flowing at 80 in the number one lane I have no problem crusin along. I can't tell you how many times...

I didn't think a deuce could do 70 unless it was downhill with a rocket engine strapped to the back.

No one is a capable operator in a 5ton at 80mph. Just because you can do it dosnt mean you should. I can see finding an empty highway and creeping up into the low 70s for a few seconds just to see but cruising at 80 is just asking for trouble.

With one or two clicks of the gov springs an A2 truck will easily go 80mph. I don't advise it though. The 6cta motor is military goverened at around 2100 rpms but with minor mods it will happily rev well over 3k. At 2100 rpms you can do around 70mph. You will kill your ctis hub seals going fast...
