[VAC] Re: Split Rims '62 Bambi

As a changer of 3,808,493 3/4 ton Army tires, they are no more dangerous
than any other tire...*IF* when you air them up you simply put the tire
ring side down and air it from the rear.  But, if I had some on any
vehicle, I'd change them out to newer rims.  The military rigs were
infamous for metal fatigue.  The rings flex and over a period of time
will come off under load.

And, 3am on the Road between Pleiku and Camp Hollaway was a REAL bad
time to have problem with the tires.
