Looks like he doesn't know what he has. Good deal for any Cali members on here close enough.

Those look to be 11.00R16's. They're a radial and measure about 37" tall under the weight of a truck and about 11" wide. Thick sidewalls and big blocky tread. They were used under the Marines' LAV-25 armored combat vehicles before they went to a wider tire a few years ago. Do a search on here for Michelin and military tires. You'll come up with a bunch of info as several of us, myself included, run variants of them and have talked about them lately. I have the XL's and love them. Balance great, no weird vibes like similar sized Swampers, tough as nails, etc etc. Only concern would be their age and if they were dry rotted but you could always ask the seller about that.

Heavy though...and those have the wheels which I hear can be a bit(h to pull off. People have figured out great ways to get them off though.

Look like the XML series. Yeah, I know the 11.00R16 isn't listed.
