Ft. Lewis GL to Pull Tire Lots??

[MilitaryRestoration]

mike, i've got tons of those 15.5's if you are interested... and can't say i didn't tell ya so told ya they'll be pulled I doubt the tires will come back but if they do i would guess it might be a while... never know though.

The zombies will have spike strips and the gov. does not want you to have run flat tires...

Well there was about 2-3 ft of snow on top of the trailers and snow drifts around them. The only thing you could make out was a pintle and a silhouette of one tire

Sounds like if you bought one of those trailers you could file a claim when you went to pick it up and the snow was missing.

Hey guys I was out hunting for the weekend! Yeah, in my opinion they should have just made us have an EUC and still let us have them, oh well.

How does Esmeralda do with those 15.5 tires on rough roads. How's the articulation? Do they rub pretty good?

No problem with articulation. The only clearance issue is the j-pipe gets rubbed in a tight turn on right front.

It is unlikely that GL is going to demount those tires or take the run flat hardware off of the rims. They will most likely be sold to the scrap contractor who will be required to demil them.

I wonder if they could be sold to a scrap contractor that would require them to dismount and destroy the runflats, preserving the wheels/tires for resale.

Today I won some 1600s, Finally. Got a good deal too (IMO)... Now this....

I got a phone call tonight from a buddy saying that all of the tire lots that sold today at Ft. Lewis are being pulled. They have run flats in them and the Gov. got picky about that. Now all of the tires new or not are going to the shredder. He called up there to talk about the tires he bought.

Just great......


Guess I will wait for the e mail.

Did you get the e-mail yet or are we still working on conjecture and hearsay????

Yes I did get the confirmed e mail. I posted that I did the other day.

 

[Speddmon]

sorry, i must have missed it

 

[Speddmon]

yup...I just went back and opened my eyes and it was staring right at me...

 

[bigelk50]

Its all good!! Just a bum subject! lol

I got an email from GL stating that they would not be put up for resale. That means they will go to the scrap contractor who will have to demil them.

That probably means that they dismount the tires, remove the runflat gear, and then sell them for 3x as much as we would have paid.
