The tyres of Hunter HMG are not very resistant to gunshot damage, you can destroy a tyre with a couple of pistol shots. They should be much more resistant against gunshot damage (other damage types not tested).

Shoot the tyres of Hunter HMG with pistol.
Event Timeline
Agreed, being an MRAP I would think it would have somewhat bullet-resistant tires.
I read on Wikipedia it can drive for 30 miles at 30 mph with two of its tires shot out, and that it has special run-flat tires. I don't think the tires would simply "pop!" and disappear from a few bullets.
The military vehicles tend to have new-generation tyres that are very resistant against gunshot damage already (check this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4jYcX_D09ig), so I think that we can expect the tyres to be at least as resistant as in the video in 2035. :P
i think it should depend on how the bullet impacts
for example a bullet shot directly at the tire will not cause much damage or deflation but if you scrape the bullet across the surface of the tire it would tear a huge hole in the tire and would deflate or even pop the tire.
The tires dont seem to be to resistant to much of enything at all i had someone pop both their front tires after lightly taping a wall.
