Proper markings are covered in the Camo manuals in the Tech Library, but you might want to check with your local law enforcement guys before putting Military Police markings on your vehicle. Some have done that and come to grief because civilian police officers have taken it as impersonating a police officer which is a big time no-no.

Yeah you better be careful with those markings. I saw a real M1009 Military Police vehicle on the freeway here in Los Angeles.

Yes, size is 9.00 - 16 Michelin X (military tires) but I prefer more aggressive tread for mud use...AJMBLAZER said:

Ah, the Centipedes on the bottom I recognize. What are the top two, more Simex products?
I've got the 11.00R16 Michelin XL's on mine but haven't had a chance to do anything with them.

No, all the 3 type of tires are remoulded. The design of the bottom one is copied by Simex; the other 2 I don't know.

Ah, well, cool looking anyways. The Centipede tread is a proven performer. Not sure on the retread/remoulds but from what I hear it's done better in Europe than here in the States.

RE: Re: RE: MP writings
IGI, in answer to your original question.
Markings for Military Police vehicles are covered in TB 43-0209 (page 30) under the Resources tab, in the Technical Manuals section.
Hope this is the information you're looking for.
