Leaping over the top looks cool but stupid especially if you can exit through the back door under the protection of the armor plating. They make nice pop-up targets to shoot at.

Nope, going forward they will have maximum gripping action with that tread pattern, I used to 4 wheel with my Jeep and used Mickey Thompson Claw's that were similar pattern.

Jim-- I am with you on that one! It's a *itch to get old!!. Everyone keeps telling these are your "golden" years. The only thing "golden" in my "Golden" years is the color of the pee running down my leg. LOL!
