I see that.

I have quickly skimmed over the document. Since I have been researching tires for awhile this part jumped out and I like technical details.

Page 960 Commando Special Tire.
The 365/80R20 tire indicated is the upgraded "modernized" rim/tire package, after the original "commando" tires where no longer used and the rims where standardized at 20". The most common tire used was/is the MICHELIN XZL, XL and XML.

This size of tire can not be used on a Ranger/Peacekeeper, no matter how hard you try as it uses 9.50" x 16.5" tire.

Weights

XZL: 75 kgs
10x20 rim: 38 kgs
3 piece run-flat insert: 40 kgs
Tire Chain: 31.5 kgs

A bit of history for those interested, the original Commando tire details.

14.5" x 21" tire, it weighted 357 lbs/162 kgs.

I'm trying to a) modernize the tires and go metric, and b) standardize the tires so there aren't 32 different tires issued to the Project.

I mean, you'd have to triple the size of the caches to fit tires for everything.

I'm assuming the Project modified all of their vehicles to use a standard set of tires between them. They just don't have the logistics capability of the US military. SO, I'm assuming that they type-standardized a set of tires/wheels, and modified the vehicles as needed to use those sizes.

If anyone else notices an impossible size, let me know which of the sizes would work better. It's a pain to find some of this data, so if anyone has it, it helps a lot.

Hopefully this is it for a bit. I need to work on my other campaigns...

Edited with link to error-corrected version. As always, please let me know if you find any errors/typos/etc...

So, when I uploaded the newest revision, it did not replace the old document. Thus, I had to generate a new link. Here it is:

Unless something unbelievably awesome shows up that I just feel the Project has to have, this should be the final version of this document.


Fingers crossed...
