    Eight wheels?? Can you imagine the cost of alignments and unless you’re using recycled tires, it kinda defeats the purpose of not using oil since now you have you make twice the number of tires for one vehicle. The designers and auto makers are so far out of touch with reality. That is why they are hurting.
