Stomil 12.00-18 Tyres for GAZ 66 and Similar Military Vehicles

These authentic Polish-made Stomil 12.00-18 tyres are the real deal for your GAZ 66 or similar military truck. Sourced directly from Polish Army surplus, these tyres represent decades of proven military engineering designed to handle everything from frozen Polish winters to summer field exercises.

If you’re restoring a GAZ 66 or maintaining any military vehicle that runs 12.00-18 rubber, this is your chance to get genuine military-grade tyres at a price that won’t break the bank!

What Makes These Tyres Special?

These aren’t your typical civilian tyres. The Stomil 12.00-18 features the robust TS tread pattern specifically designed for military applications. Made in Poland by Stomil Poznań – one of the most respected tyre manufacturers in the Warsaw Pact – these tyres were built to military specifications for vehicles that had to operate in any conditions, anywhere.

The aggressive directional tread provides excellent traction both on-road and off-road, while the sturdy tube-type construction means you can repair them in the field with basic tools. That’s the kind of practical engineering we love!

Let’s Talk About Condition

Here’s where we need to be completely honest with you – and we always are. These tyres come from Polish Army surplus and were manufactured over 10 years ago. That’s just the reality of military surplus rubber.

However, and this is important: these tyres have been stored properly and show excellent condition. As you can see in the photos, the tread depth is outstanding, the sidewalls show no significant cracking, and the rubber remains supple. They’ve spent most of their life in military warehouses rather than pounding pavement, which means you’re getting tyres with minimal actual wear despite their age.

We’ve seen plenty of “new” civilian tyres in worse condition than these military surplus specimens. The difference? These were built to last and stored correctly.
