but who buys these to drive on the road.
I didn't buy mine to drive on the road, but realized after I got it, it's value as a local gofer vehicle. Probably 90% of my use is on the street, and as soon as I can find an affordable set of 14" wheels, I'm gonna be running 235/60-14 all season radials most of the time
I do realize that street use is not allowed in many states, it's not allowed here in NH with some exceptions, one of the exceptions is "special commercial" plates that most people can't get.
