Snow Tires?!

in #cars6 years ago (edited)

I was walking around Vail Village in Vail Colorado tonight with my family when we ran across this beast! Man would I love to get behind the wheel of this thing in some deep powder during the winter time. It sure does not look very fast but I feel like it might be able to climb trees. At first I thought this was fake but after further inspection It has been modified and actually turned into a snow cat of some sort.

Cool picture @broncnutz! Those track systems are definitely fully functional, but rather pricey. trucktracks.com makes some cheaper alternatives.

Anyways this takes me back to when I first learned about track systems because Ken Block put a set on his Subaru rally car:

Thats cool dude! The wheels seems like of that of the tank but it is just mini compared to it. Im just wondering, How fast its top speed?

I have no idea.

Good for snow but not take speed , and may consumption of fuel is too high..

It’s a gas hog for sure!

If possible pls post a video of this , when its run... thanks
I think looks amazing..

wow thats awesome.look like a battle tank.

I love it, I wish I could ride it since it makes me curious enough. It's luxury. I guess with those tires there would be no problem in climbing to the steepest part!

it suprises me that there is no law in britain which makes it mandatory to have winter tires in the winter. I mean... there is a reason why winter tires and summer tires have their specific name....

was actually impressed that in my country changing tires during winter/summer is a typical thing but for other countries like US/UK is something rather unusual.

that is some kind of serious vehical.look at the wheel.i dont see this before,trust me.i loves that...

I've gone 6 years on a set of winter tires so at 75 dollars per tire you get your moneys worth. They never lose there tread and most times have to be replaced due to weather cracking. That's my experience here in Canada. Obviously if you spin the hell out of them and drift and do burn outs you will be lucky to get a year out of them. Summer tires last about 3 years with normal wear.

I would love to have ride on it. I'm inspired by the creativity of its maker.
mind blowing.
