Effectiveness of Wheeled ATGMs carriers

You do?! My bike has to be patched up manually everytime it leaks...

you can also pack some troops in IFV for protection against other ATGMS.

you can buy it at most auto excesories stores its called goo or somthing like that

most wheeled armored vehicles alow the driver to change the tire pressure for better traction on sand, snow,mud ext. and the tires can be filled with a matirial that will fill bullet and fragment holes and the tire pressure will reinflate them to the pressure you were at before

well, i know that, we use those "Run-flat" tires on our LAV-III (original version of the LAV-25) it's not efficient, i'm honest. And i was not talking about traction on sand, snow, mud but pression distribute by the wheel, tracks distribute a vehicle's weight evenly over the surface. This enables deep, soft sand to be traversed with ease, in areas that a wheeled vehicle would find impassable. With tires, the weight "stay" at the same place, so if the front of your armored vehicule is heavier for exemple, they'll be more pression on the front wheel.

(Picutre) With a tow cable attached to its front end, an eight-wheeled USMC LAV-25 is pulled from the Croatian mud where it had been hopelessly mired. Note the nose up angle, indicating that each pair of tires has dug deeper into the mud than the preceding pair. And BTW, you need chains to drive on snows. And wheeled vehicule cannot climb obstacle, that's a BIG problem.

wieght distrabution is very important for weeled vehicles compared to tracks and the maximum load is also more limited the stryker with slat armor added is overloading its tires and blow outs happen often in iraq where a tracked vehicle can be loaded unevenly and can handle a much heavier load so in this respect tracks are superior
by runflat you mean that you run on a flat tire cause i was saying that you put a matirel in the tire the same way you would inflate it and when a puncture happens the flow of air rushing out sucks it in the hole and filles it up theen any tire pressure you lost can be rgain with the central tire pressure control

watch this movie of a BTR 90 and youll see it climbing some good sized obstacals the tires on the BTR 90 are almost twice the size of the lav so it has an advantage

can you give me the exact size of the BTR-90 tires ??

i may have exagerated the size a little but i know they are larger then the lav ill check on that
btw how much dose the lav wiegh cause the BTR 90 is 21 tons

heres a good article it dosent give tire size but it gives the clearence

in the future, the world will primarily use wheels, while special operations will involve tracks. maybe they'll figure out how to cheaply make tracks too.
