WARNING
Mount only replacement tires specified in TM 9-2320-272-24P
Do not exceed recommended tire inflation pressure. Do not
exceed load stamped on wheel. Wrong size tires, overinflated
tires, or overloaded assemblies could case assemblies to
separate under pressure, resulting in injury or death.
Always inflate the assembly in a tire inflation cage, using a
clip-on air chuck. Inflation cage can help reduce risk of injury
if the assembly should separate during inflation.
