SWATMOD can help you with new tires
for your armored vehicle!
Not sure if you need new tires? Here's how to check your vehicle's tires for dry cracking/damage/chopping:
Tread Cracks - Use a flashlight and thoroughly check in between the tread all the way around the circumference of each tire. Sometimes they will have heavy cracking in one spot, as that's where they may have sat on the ground for an extended period when the MRAP was parked in storage. If you can stick the tip of a knife in the cracks we recommend taking the MRAP out of service until replaced.
Sidewall Cracks - Check the sidewalls carefully for any cracks. They are usually found near the rim or in the middle of the sidewalls. Sidewall cracking is very dangerous! If sidewall cracks exist we recommend taking the MRAP out of service until replaced.
Chopping - Look down the tread of your tires and check to see if there is any uneven wear or "chopping"—when some lugs may appear to be shorter than others. This is often caused by running them underinflated or bad alignment.
Continuing to drive on tires that are cracked or damaged can result in blowouts like this.
If you've determined you need new tires for your MRAP, you need to get the run flats transferred!
What's a run flat?
A run flat is a 200 lb. solid rubber donut inside a tire that prevents your armored vehicle from rolling over in the event of a blow out or a flat. A run flat also enables the vehicle to still be driven at low speeds when a tire is compromised.
Transferring run flats is very important but it's not easy. Furthermore, it requires a special machine. Aside from the miltary, SWATMOD is the only known option available to make this transfer happen.
If you care about safety,
you MUST get your run flats transferred.
