They will get around better in most conditions. But you have to be carefull around rocks,or sharp objects so you don;t cut a track, or operation on concrete which wears them quickly. You also have to try and clean them if you use it in mud or snow in freezing conditions, they will freeze up solid if left set over night dirty.
