Marine issue...
And no, it won't float! The old unarmored Humvees weighed in at 5,200lbs before equipment... Source
Uparmored AF (M1116) Humvees weigh in at 9800lbs... Source
I wish they'd ditch the 6.5L TD and throw in the Duramax like in the H1 Alpha... but I can't complain too much since the 6.5 TD is a helluva lot more powerful than the old 6.2L diesel they were equipped with from the get go (the 6.2L I drove barely had enough power to go up a normal hill). EDIT: guess this explains it...
And from what I've seen from a combat loader and bobcat, the tires are filled with some material instead of air.
