    Default M715 Wheels - SPLIT...or in 2 pieces...

    Hi Everyone, a new M715 owner. My 715 is on the move and should be arriving in Florida this afternoon.

    QUESTION: Two brand new tires are in the bed of the truck. I ordered tubes and flaps from Coker. They'll be here in a few days. I've called a few tire shops and all said they can't change the tires.

    One local truck place, that also does farm equipment, said they might be able to change the tires. But he asked me - are the wheels a "Split Wheel" - also called Widow Makers, or are they a 2 or 3 piece wheel? I truly have no clue. Can anyone shed any light on this for me.

    The guy said, if the wheel is a 2 or 3 piece wheel, he can do it. If its a Split Wheel, they cannot.

    Thanks in advance! TOM

    They are not the old split rims. Take a look at this thread, there is a ton of them if you put in "split" "Wheel" or "rim"

    They are not split rings, they are military safety rings and are different than split rings. They have a safety lip that prevents them from blowing apart like split rims. They can be very easy to work with if you know what you are doing, they were made to be able to be changed in the field by 18 year old soldiers without many tools. Don't call them split rings when you talk to a place, call them by their proper name and most places will understand what they are then.

    Thanks for that info Dave! I really appreciate it. I'm taking the M715 to a place on Tuesday to have the new tires put on. Hopefully, they'll be able to do it. I will copy your note. Tom
