General argument is that no one will build anything for popular consumption with tires that large. Because it means a larger axle, larger breaks, higher center of gravity, and very expensive wheels and tires. The Jeep Forty concept has met with the same criticism from the factory: no one will build it because even as an option it will be priced out of the market. Although, given what a G-wagon costs, I don’t think that’s a good argument for a mercedes. And given that it could be released in a military version, I think it’s worth building.
Keep hope alive.
