I'm assuming you are talking about Military Hummer tires. Military tires have a very high durometer rating on them. Making the rubber very stiff. Deep snow i'm sure they'd be fine. But I bet they suck on ice. Which tires are you talking about? These ones..... ? I'd sipe the middle lugs and call it a day.

Yes, I'm talkin about those military 37's..
Where can I sit them? I know if i buy a groover.. but any body that has one..
Would sipping the tire effect treadlife?

siping does reduce tread life but those tires have a eleventybillion mile treadlife anywayOriginally Posted by meanwhitemopar
how bout chains on those for snow/ice. That would be awesome
Like how much, cause I would rather just deal with a slight traction loss, but if its hardly what ill notice, im not to worried

Few guys I knew of runnin them on older diesels in the snow, they didn't complain, they said it went just like any other heavy ass truck in the snow. I'd groove those things and slap some weight in the bed of your dodge for winter time and call it good.

I had a set on my old K20 - their about even with an A/T I'd say but don't do as well on smooth slick surfaces.

If you break it, then it needed upgraded anyway!
A vote for siping them - you'll appreciate it on the ice, not just going, but stopping. Lots of hills around here obviously and lots of run-off ice patches on the roads.

dude don't even worry about reducing treadlife on those tires. siping them will help with the ice. they weren't bad on the hmmwv but could be better. most of the ones you are going to buy that are 75% or better have about 50,000 miles on them. you're truck will die before those tires do.

Fronts huh? So do you think there could be another issue going on there?
