    how do you steer a truck with these things without trashing your differential if you're on something that would provide too much traction, say, grass.

    That's the exact reason for a differential - turning & traction differences. These are no harder on your truck's differential and transfer case than any big tire. The track system is essentially just a wheel trapped by the track itself. The whell drives on the track, the track moves over the ground. Having 4 indepandant untis mean it's just a real fancy tire -not like a tank at all.

    From one of the web pages:
    MATTRACKS is the result of the imagination of our founder's 11 year old son.

    That's cool.
