A continuous flexible track (12) for extending about a plurality of aligned wheels on a vehicle or track module (10), the track includes an outer ground-engaging surface (22) and an inner wheel-engaging surface (24) having inwardly-projecting wheel-engaging lugs (26). Each lug has a proximal end (32), a distal surface (34), front and back surfaces (36, 38) and opposite side surfaces (40, 42). Each lug further includes a flex-groove (44) extending between the side surfaces and from the distal surface toward the proximal end, thereby dividing the lug into two portions to allow around-wheel hinging motion. In most preferred embodiments, a lug-receiving cap (50) may be positioned over and replaceably secured with respect to each lug. A method for prolonging the useful life of such a track is provided.
