not really a good look for someone going for alift with a aggressive tread pattern. i was thinking these would be terrible in any area that gets snow. the snow would get all packed in there and they would be hard and heavy.

I don't see the feasibility for the car/truck market, but I want a set of aggressive ones for my ATV. God, I hate pulling pointy things our of my tires and plugging them sobs all the time!!!

+1 they are probably going to be more aimed at utility use more that street. great for maybe rhinos, skid-steers, atv market,utility trucks, ect.. not the lil ricers running around with 4" exhausts on a 4cylinder.

Yeah, like 40yrs ago!

I see a problem not only for offroad, but rain, snow, uneven surfaces...etc

The only reason military would interest the situation is extended mobility for less problems! That's the only reason. Obviously it has nothing to do with spending our hard earned money on futuristic garbage...lol
I would personally like to see more armor on the soldiers than tire investments. Of course that would cost too much. People are indispensable and money isn't to the government although they try and portray things otherwise.
