Basic principle of Terra-Tire is high flotation, possible due to low inflation pressures achieved through wide flexible cross sections and small bead diameters resulting in very large air volumes; Terra-Tire equipped vehicle is capable of traversing terrain impassable to conventional tire equipped vehicles; very low inflation pressure and low ground bearing pressure enable Terra-Tire to literally float over marshy terrain, sand and snow; constructional details of tire which was originally developed for ground support vehicles in Matador Missile Program; application of Terra-Tires to seismographic trucks, military vehicles, agricultural tractors, sugar cane trailers, banana harvester tractor, etc.
