Wth? With all that tire contact you'd think it would just drag the anchor rig down the road.

Caption said the anchor rig weighs 98,000lbs !! Doesn't look that heavy.

The tires are 18 inches wide with 50 inch rims. They cost about $1500 each.
Not cheap, that's for sure.

Description at the bottom said those tires are $1,500 EACH! It also said they burn off abour 40% of the tread to prepare the tire for tests.

Total tires 12 x $1,500 = $18,000. 40% of the tires = a $7,200 burnout!!
