I heard their not going to be road legal because shooting the tires or Spike strips will do nothing.
They should appeal good on heavy equipment, though.

IMO, them things are ugly as heil!

They look like they will be soft enough to hold slope, and hard enough to not roll off the rim. Looks, heck, the pt is pretty ugly... this isn't going to set it back...

I think that's a bad reason not to have it. The extra safety is very important and something all tire manufacturers strive for. The slightly lower gas mileage might be an issue.

Well if law enforcement can't stop it, well...things would be ugly.
So thats why it not be made road legal.

But they would be excellent on a Skid Steer or CWL.

I am an ex-law enforcement, and their are many more ways than "spike-strips".

In fact, most of the time even with "strips" the vehical continues for quite awhile.

But, I have to agree with an earlier comment, the ugliness isn't going to be much of an effect to a PT ;~)

For the cars on the highway, I have read that they have heat and noise issues. For a PT or skidloader, they sure would hold a bunch of mud and dirt.

 

[woodlandfarms]

Hmmm Didn't think of the mud and dirt issue. And in the grand scheme itwill probably be cheaper to foam fill

If money were no object for replacment shoes:

Mattracks Home - rubber track conversions systems for 4x4 vehicles

Seems like there would be a "gear reduction" effect since the main spindle is smaller than the stock tire.

Isn't this the same idea just built tougher?
