7.50R15 M151

Specification

General Characteristics

  • Tire Type: Military Non-Directional Tread (NDT).
  • Construction: Bias-ply (diagonal tire), not radial. This construction is typical for older military and industrial applications, offering durability and puncture resistance in rough terrain.
  • Intended Use: Designed specifically as original equipment for the M151 series of military utility trucks (M151, M151A1, M151A2).
  • Terrain: Suitable for a variety of terrains, including off-road and paved surfaces, with a tread designed to provide traction in both conditions (non-directional design allows for mounting in any position and rotation pattern). 

Measurements and Dimensions

  • Section Width: Approximately 7.50 inches (nominal).
  • Rim Diameter: Designed for a 15-inch diameter wheel/rim.
  • Overall Diameter: The exact overall diameter can vary slightly between manufacturers and specific models but is generally in the range of 28-29 inches when inflated and mounted.
  • Aspect Ratio: This is an old-style size designation and does not have a specific aspect ratio number like modern radial tire sizes (e.g., 75R15), as it implies a tall, narrow profile typical of light truck bias-ply tires.

Description

  • Ply Rating: Typically has a high ply rating (e.g., 8-ply or more) to ensure robust load durability and resistance to damage in rugged environments.
  • Load Capacity: Features an upgraded load durability suitable for the M151 vehicle's weight and cargo capacity. Specific load index and speed ratings are manufacturer-dependent for modern reproductions but designed to meet military requirements for the vehicle.
  • Tube Requirement: This is commonly a Tube-Type (TT) tire, requiring an inner tube and flap to function properly.
  • Tread Pattern: Features a distinct, symmetrical non-directional lug pattern designed for consistent traction and the ability to be rotated freely on the vehicle without affecting performance.
