Look at WWII jeeps and their "skinny" tires.
Look at WWII jeeps and their tire sizes. Why so skinny for 4X4? And why dont the WWII jeeps I see have the big lifts?
**Is there anything to be said about this? (i.e., are they better than big fat tires for off-roading?)
I am not yet into 4X4'ing and was just wondering why I see so many trucks/4X4's with such large tire sizes and such a high suspension?
Is this really practical in off roading?
I mean they look cool, but how do they perform against a light 4X4 with maybe smaller and/or skinny tires like that of a WWII jeep?
I am not trying to start any kind of argument, I would just like to know the benifits of a skinny and light 4X4/truck VS. all these TALL, LOUD, BIG WHEELED FORD and CHEVY trucks I see? (in terms of off-road capability)
thanks, techno
