How many tires does a Stryker burn per day? Reports from Iraq suggest between 8 and 13. And it takes just as long to change a single Stryker-wheel as it takes to change an entire Gavin steel-track. Btw, said track weighs as much as two Stryker wheels - and the Stryker got 8 of 'em.

A Stryker does not burn through 13 tires a day I drove a stryker convoy from Mosul to Kuwait (600 miles) just fine. They'd never drive a track that far. It would have to be line-hauled. I have never personally done maintainence on M113's but I had soldiers that had served in Korea and prefered changing a tire to changing track. The big difference is that a Stryker can rollback to a FOB on flat tires while the M113 gets to sit in the kill zone spinning around in a circle with a thrown track.
