i forgot to mention that wheels are more resistent to mines then tracks usally when a tracked vehicles goes over a mine it will blow the track off and now the vehicles is usless wheels will just keep rolling

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

Canadian LAV-III 16,9 tons
US LAV-25 12,802 tons
MOWAG Pirahna 16,5 tons

I have a few question for you, did you served in the military ?? In the infantry ?? I'm presently in the Canadian Reserve Infantry, during multiples exercises, I ride the LAV-III and the M113A3 APC To be honest, the LAV-III is slower in cross-country that the M113A3 but it's faster on road. But our LAV-III cannot go over obstacle that are 80cm high. But for the M113A3, he can even cross a 1,1m brick wall.

no i dont have any military expieriance im just saying from my off roading expierince biger tires are an advantage for going over obstacles
the tires on the LAV look really small compared to the BTR 90 in my opinion
i think the best option is to have a unit with a mix of wheeled and tracked vehicles so its ready for any terain

wouldn't half tracks be effective?

halftacks are very effective but they are very complexe to make and to maintain and lot's more than a tracked only or wheeled only vehicule

Interesting prototype

in this case, go look for the old US M106 Ontos, that's a strange piece of equipement but maybe useful ... But you know what, recoiless AT-Gun are not very effective...

You sure it's AP munition? Doesn't make sense to use it on a lorry.
