Results of tests indicated that in fine-grained soils, GOER performed better with 18.00-26 than with 15.00-34 tires, and also better than standard military 6×6 wheeled vehicles of 2 1/2 and 5-ton capacity; in one specific clean sand, its performance with either size tire was better than any wheeled vehicle tested to date by WES; additional testing, particularly in snow, sand, and muskeg, is needed to evaluate vehicle fully.
