It looks like those wheels they put on swamp buggies, I'd say they do well in the snow.

I don't know much about driving in snow but it doesn't seem like the tires are helping much. About half way thru this flic he has problems on what appears to me to be a slight hill. But the last time we had snow here of any depth was about 20 years ago so maybe there is more to driving in snow than I would know. I still don't understand the rear steer. It's certainly not something you want for any hiway driving. Yes, I have certification to drive a forklift and own 2 myself- a Clark 6000lb and a Toyota 6000lb.

So it doesn't freeze at night and turn into a rutted up skating rink

I think that thing is sweet.

Real-wheel steer is just cool. And with that tire and wheel combo, I doubt he too conserned about the highway...

But then how are all the employees of that company supposed to do dough-nuts in the parking lot on their way in, in the morning?

Trust me, you don't want to do doughnuts on frozen, rutted up slush, that is like sliding into curbs and you end up wrecking stuff. With the freeze-thaw cycles we get up here you can get ruts 10 inches deep in frozen "slush" on the residential roads, cars get hung up in them and can't get out because of the icy "walls" of the ruts.
