Increase tire mileage.


With the increase in tactical missions, your HMMWV HMMWV High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV is a trademark of AM General LLC; aka HUMVEE, also a trademark of AM General LLC)  is being used more and more. So it's no surprise that the heavy usage has led to higher tire demand. And higher demands sometimes lead to supply shortages.

To make tires last longer, don't turn them in with 50 percent tread left or 8/32 inch tread depth. Instead, get more mileage out of your tires by using them until the tread measures 3/32 inch, unless the tire has excessive or uneven wear or imbalance.
