RETIRED, with too much time to think about things that make no sense to me.
SO, I saw this picture and I was just stumped. I am hoping some of you younger folks can explain to my WHAT kind of benefit you get from those tires that look like they have an inch of sidewall on those weird wheels... especially on a vehicle you take off road on unimproved tracks and trails? It seems that there would be no cushion if you hit a pothole or a rock or anything else and the shock you go right into the wheel and suspension . I just cannot see what benefit you get but maybe there is and someone can educate me because they stump me.
thanks for dealing with an old curmudgeon.
