That is just so awesome. I love how it doesn't even matter if he's on the road or not

That is by far, one of the coolest things I've ever seen. How would they even do that? Do they have to custom design those attatchments?

sheesh...the "drivers" are worth more than the rest of the car...kind of like seeing the 22's on beaters in the ghetto...

Don't those tracks run something like $20k for a pair?

 

[compman25]

Want to do to my wrx! That would be fun

Driving that fast with Mattracks has to be hard on the suspension and frame.

 

[Goosemaster]

holy mackerel :Q

 

[Evadman]

I called them a few months ago to see about a set for my FJ. Quoted 22K for the 105's.

Are these things road legal? God damn!

 

[JulesMaximus]

Snow tracks?

What is this snow you're all talking about?

 

[Rubycon]

The taxis in Norway have them.

Nicer car too! They'll go anywhere but they say they are dangerous on ice!

 

[PingSpike]

Why would they be any more dangerous on ice then conventional tires? Unless you mean its easier to be going to fast?

I guess they mean people think tracked is better than a tyre on ice? I don't drive so I would not know.

Wider footprint equals less PSI on the ice...turns them into skis on ice..just like wide tires. I suppose there might be some kind of "Ice treads" available for use on ice however, or perhaps some kind of mod that could be added, but that would probably also make them unserviceable on hard dry surfaces, where the standard tracks would be OK on pavement for short runs.

That's because you're in Texas we either have rain or ice. There is no in between.
