# Army and DLA Advance Tire Procurement

Radial Insights forecasts the global military and defense vehicle tire market will grow from USD 3.55 billion in 2026 to USD 5.24 billion by 2035, a 4.42% CAGR. Near-term U.S. procurement signals include the Army’s FY2027 winter-tire development and qualification effort for medium tactical vehicles and DLA’s updated approved tire list. The forecast is market intelligence, not a solicitation; it points to demand for qualified run-flat and CTIS-compatible tires, as well as recurring replacement needs.

- Tire manufacturers and suppliers can assess whether their products meet the relevant qualification needs and appear on DLA’s approved list; the signals do not specify the list’s criteria or update process.
- The Army’s All-Season Arctic tire effort indicates a potential development and qualification opportunity for suppliers serving the Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles. FY2027 funding is identified, but no amount is stated.
- The DLA Global Tires Program and vehicle programs such as the JLTV follow-on create potential first-fit, supply, and lifecycle replacement demand. The market forecast provides context, not a guarantee of specific awards.
