Makes a huge amount of sense hauling soldiers and gear over rough country at lower speeds.

Still see them in motor convoys on the highway, probably not the most pleasant thing to drive at 55mph. I bet those huge tires dart around and make tons of noise. But unlike my Michelins, they'll take a bullet.
