rubber tracks instead of tires. pretty badarse but way too expensive and will wear out in hours on the highway.

Trucks on spike did a chevy with them once I think

That's what Im trying to find out. I live in OH so I have a hard time believing I would ever have enough need for them. I googled them and one guy said 30K but I find that hard to believe. For the atvs theyre about $4k on ebay new.

I've never used them on trucks, however I have driven an ATV equipped with tracks. Flotation on snow, and in mud was better. Now, as far as the ATV goes, loss of fuel mileage, speed, harder steering, and a harsher ride. I have no idea how much of this will translate over to a vehicle. My offroading toy is a Lada, and I've corresponded with people that have tracks on their Ladas, and they talk about similar observations. Look absolutely drop dead 10/10 though!!!!!!!!
