Shoes retail range from?$350 TO $1200GET EA. Just depends on the shoes you want. When I say beware I mean I've seen alot of tires come from Surplus sold as new including retail and the date codes expired...doesn't mean they are nessacerily bad...but you should beware as the original price or retail price should reflect it....usually you see them as discontinued tires. In the Mog market buying a surplus tire that has been around with variedthe atmospheric temps and climates...cold to blistering hot....there are reasons why they sell them as surplus...out of date or H7.

monstermog your selling things often enough now that I've really got to start considering you a "vendor".

As a vendor you fall under an additional set of rules in here. PM me

Military regs require tires to be replaced regardless of condition. That is why there are so many surplus tires. They will pull tires of a deployed truck even if they are brand new and only a few months old. And date codes mean shit. You simply must either gamble or put your hands on the tire. Even then it's a gamble with tires that are not new from the manufacturer.

I got 7 14.5 military take offs for $150 each. 3 looked brand new, 3 were about 95% and 1 was cupped pretty bad, even though there was still about 90% tread left. This was about 2 years ago though.
