just playing. mattracks are good when applied in an appropriate environment. to the 2nd poster, sorry you're wrong, they impact the environment much less (but that was already covered).

I agree with this, they gotta have less impact than tires.
An I oughta know, back when I boughht my first er second 4wd, holy croak, I tore up the environment. Thought it was fun. My truck could really take it an keep on tickin.
Then I found out about what it takes to repair them f.... mistakes.
Anyhow , them ruts prolly STILL exist.

drawbacks I see: vehicle speed is limited to 40-45mph, "road noise", fuel economy, cost of tread replacement, and just too many darn moving parts/things to go wrong.

I was in military (for one week only, but still) Have you seen tracks left by a tank? True, tank is much heavier, but just see tracks left by snowmobiles and snowcats left early spring.
Bigger footprint is damaging greater area.
And anyway...
Driving up to the very cave entrance at all cost is like fighting over closest parking spot at the entrance to the gym. Ridiculous.

Like anything in the hands of man, ATV's can be easy or hard on the environment.
