People really spend a lot of money on off road vehicles and 4wd trucks etc,
This is how Dodge did it in the 1920's, only those were the roads back then.

There were no paved roads... Often only trails. So when it rained this was just normal driving back then.

The oldtimers always said a tall skinny tire will go through a lot more mud and snow than a short fat ones ... now I see what they mean by watching that video.
