Been looking at the MV850 and the npt tires. Cost of this thing is $15,000.Out of reach for about 90% of people,plus wonder what the replacement tire cost is? Is npt technology here to stay or just a gimmick. Military is using this on large vehicles also,but just wonder on what it would do in mud and sand. Seems to me the tires would be a catch all for rocks,mud,tree branch,etc.Might be that I'm just getting a little old and not embracing new technology,but I remember the one year only model MV7 we sold also that looks awfully similar except for the tires and engine. One heavy machine that you could take a sledge hammer to though.

 

I don't like the looks of those tires but they've been put through a lot and survived where a regular tire wouldn't. It's hard to say if they'll be popular with civilians but it looks like they're here to stay for the military. I think Goodyear quit making ATV tires but they used to make run-flat tires that looked just like regular ATV tires. No holes for things to get stuck in. These new ones will probably cost a lot too.

 

Just think how heavy they'll be when filled with mud!

 

Those tries will survive just fine, just need to think outside the box a little.

The Michelin Tweel (designed before Polaris released these) have been used in Construction, by cattle and Dairy famrs, and there are ZERO complaints of them plugging up.
