TM 9-2320-364-20-1
1-19. WHEELS AND TIRES.
Figure 1-26. Wheels and Tires
Each truck has eleven wheel/tire assemblies (Figure 1-26); the ten installed on the truck axles plus a spare. The
components of each wheel/tire assembly are the wheel, tire, valve stem, Central Tire Inflation System (CTIS), wheel
valve, bead lock and wheel cover.
a.  Wheel. The 20 by 10 inch wheel is manufactured in two pieces. Twelve studs (1) that protrude from the
rear wheel half are used to bolt the two halves together. These studs are also used to mount the CTIS wheel
valve bracket and secure the wheel cover (2).
Tire. The 16.00R20 tires (3) are tubeless.
b.
c.  Bead Lock. The bead lock is installed inside the assembled wheel and tire. It assures that the tire stays
pressurized when tire pressure is low. It is manufactured in two halves that are bolted together.
d.  CTIS Wheel Valve. The wheel valve assembly allows air flow in and out of the tire during CTIS
inflation/deflation cycles. It is mounted to the wheel and secured by a bracket assembly. The input and output
ports are fitted with two flexible and steel tubes in parallel.
Valve Stem. The valve stem connects inside the wheel and is routed to the CTIS wheel valve.
e.
f.  Wheel Cover. The entire wheel end contains a wheel cover to protect the CTIS valve and air lines from
physical damage. This cover must always be in place whenever the truck is in operation. It is secured to the
wheel via four of the wheel studs.
