I don't know about that, but if you go with an E-range mud or trail tire, those are pretty durable.

Here you go, you'll never get a flat with these.

Nothing is fool proof but depending on what your looking with off roading or ride quality. Normally tires with the higher running pressure with have thicker tread and side walls but then ride rough. I have the mickey thompson ATZs and they are a great all around tire.

welll technically the Goodyear Wrangler MT/R Kevlar...has Kevlar, which is a material infused with "bullet-proof" flap jackets used by police and soldiers.

for tires Nitto Trail Grappler is an amazing tire, next I would go with the Goodyear Duratrac as most people who have them are Raptor owners and love them...

but as for actually being bulletproof...no, no such thing. Im sure here in a couple years a nuematic tire will be come available, Hummers are testing them and so are ATVs

or you can go to solid rubber tires that most shop Dollys use, but they dont come in anything above like 10" LOL

Also, Hmmvv's use double beadlock wheels, which clamp the tire front and back of the wheel, inside there is a solid rubber ring that mounts on the inside of the wheel, that is used for if they get a "flat", the tire wont completly deflate to the rim. however theyre really heavy, obviously its mil-spec.

Duratracs ara a terrible tire when it comes to strength against punctures or tears off road. for ppl staying on the road they do seem to give good results
