Toyota Megacruiser tire 37x12.500x17.5 6-ply

Hello,

I just purchased a military Toyota mega cruiser. I need the operator’s manual and I need to know where to get the tires. The tire size is 37x12.500x17.5 6-ply and I need to know where to get them. Any information, particularly on the operator’s manual and tires, is highly appreciated.

Thanks,
John

Does anyone know where I can get the tires for the thing? I cannot use the run flat inserts for the bogger. I need Bridgestone Mud Dueller 671s tire size is 37x12.500x17.5 6-ply .

they don't make them, it's not even a tire size option on the www.bridgestonetire.com site.

17.5" rims are very very uncommon. Most common 17.5" rim size is used on skidsteers.

^^^^ that thing is sweet.

Have you tried asking local tire dealers? Or possibly a local dealership who might make 17.5" tires?

Price is 25,000 USD. Mileage is approximately 40,000 miles only. It is with portal axle. What's your email add, I'll send you more photos of the rear wheel steering system if you want.
