It's not the tracks that cost you. It's the idlers, sprockets, etc.

- supermatt 4y agoMy comment was is in response to metal treads causing damage...
- thatcat 4y agoIt's the pressurized air in the tire that reduces applied ground pressure from the vehicle not just the surface material.
- supermatt 4y agoNot sure why you are responding to my comment either... but what you are saying makes no sense to me. Obviously the pressurised air itself has mass, but I think its more to do with tyre deformation modifying the contact surface area. The air inside is just to distribute the load across the contact area.
