    Can't imagine that sidewall has any capability in mud.
    In my own clever vernacular, I dub that alteration from vehicle to "circus wagon". It evolved from earlier trend, where the smallest aspect possible tires were mounted on 14" and 15" wheels but 6" and 7" wide; partially to lower a car far as possible. Those were "O-rings".
    Occasionally the look works, such as this, in one automotive mecca, Bellflower CA.........

    Nothing about practicality, it's just a statement, and maybe a lifestyle. Like Saturday morning's in front of Jenny's Donuts.
    This is parked, frame rails resting or nearly so, on pavement. While driving, it's lifted about 4" to 6".

    Now.... THIS is mudding...


    There are no "O'ring" tires anywhere near this place.

    I think it should called beer throttling. I drink whiskey and I would never do that.

    I believe their major problem is that they are "young, dumb, and full of..." Time will fix that one way or another. They'll either die young, grow up, or die old and stupid.

    And some folks get richer from it.

    Hey there, thought long ago I copyrighted that mud/ dirt/ driveway quip. Sometimes just dirt, if the driveway wasn't swept........and how 'bout Whiskey Throttle? = Risky Throttle!

    Meanwhile, the O-ring description is an entirely different phenomena, though related.

    That was quite a vault; it’s a pity we couldn’t see if he stuck the landing!

    I'd like to get an ER report on Evil Knievel's injuries there. But you guys have to admit: he got some great air and the poor fool standing on the deck either has cat-like reflexes or incredible luck!
