I haven’t ran the HMMWV wheels, but I had a set of the Baja A/Ts on 16.5x9.75 steelies on my Burb a few years ago. They are a tough tire and I liked them. Definitely stay away from the older 36” bias plus and only go for the 37” radials.

There isn’t a danger in running the HMMWV wheels, as they aren’t a split rim (which has an inner hoop/hub, outer ring, and lock ring) but a multi piece wheel bolted together. There is no risk of the lock ring flying off when airing up like an old school split rim. The wheels are heavy, I used to keep a few for my Marines to use for tire flips during morning physical training. Assembled wheels/tires also have a run flat in them (which is a pain to remove and/or cut down). HMMWVs were the only wheeled vehicles that we didn’t build tires sets in the field because of the difficulty in removing run flats without specialized machines.

I’m actually in the market for 16.5s again, as I have a set of slots I’d like to run. This lead me to Treadwright tires, who does a remold in the 37x12.5x16.5 variety. Not too bad price wise, especially compared to Interco’s 16.5 prices.
