I have made some pretty big rut's myself, not anticipating that!
Ya added a lot of weight to it. I believe my rear tires are loaded to 450 lbs each, and it defiantly don't float, or bounce!

Weird thing is. If you hit the road at WOT, you can't tell that the tires are filled. I would expect some sloshing or Inertial things to happen, but nothing! Kick them, they are full. I even cracked the valve stem on one to double check, Yep, there is liquid in there.

I chose the R4's over the AG tires because I was driving on concrete a bunch early on. And the R4's don't wear out as fast in that situation. They do load up a bit in sand pretty quick if you are moving or pushing a load, but I call that a failsafe not to overload and wreck something.
