[...] les pneus à basse pression présentent l'avantage de mieux épouser la forme du terrain. Leur surface de contact devient beaucoup plus grande que celle de la roue à bandage d’acier ou de pneu normal à haute pression. Ces pneus flottent pour ainsi dire sur la terre meuble, là où une roue normale s’enfoncerait.
