That is a picture of a surplus yard in Wisconsin, SJR appears to be in Bellingham. Might be hard for him to look for some 15" tires that don't exist in military surplus.

Just cuz those MTRs have the same looking tread as the normal ol 15 inch ones dont mean they work the same.
Thats still a load range E stiff hard rubbered tire for armored humvees.
If it came form the military and is 16.5 then it will SUCK on a light trail rig.
They are not cheap either. Anyone with the newer style bfgs and mtrs from the military is not going to give them away or sell them smokin cheap.
Look on CL and find a normal ol SOFT tire for less money.

Chop Shop is right. If they're load range E then they're JUNK! Don"t bother trying to use load range E tires for wheeling.

Got me on that one didnt think about the load range. The tread is still pretty soft on those though on a un armored hmmwv they chunk up on the street pretty fast. they are no were near as hard as the older style tires.

Don't expect them to go for much cheaper than that Scott.Especially with 24 bolts!
I got my 12 bolts from a guy that bought a truckful of them.I got 4 of them ready to mount on an 8 lug rig for $400.
Just go to an auction in person.There are plenty of auctions around our area.
cheers
