no good having 400hp@8000rpm
and you never get it over 3500rpm

would a 33x12.5 not be able to be aired down
to produce the same length foot print as a

would think its more to do with how tall a
tire is that gains more length when aired down.
tracked vehicles increase widths of tracks too.

Imo generally as vehicle increases there ground pressure
they decrease there offroad preformance
a vehicle with lower vci (lbs/sq inch)
should out preform vehicle with higher one.
tracked vehicles have low lbs/sq inch, because

300hp from a 3.5/ 4.6 that only weighs 155kg with oil .
power/weight not bad
suppose it how much revs you pull in your 4wd
and your gear ratio
but still think that 300hp at the wheels on 4wd dyno
