Where the rubber meets the road?

How cheap Chinese tires might explain Russia's 'stalled' 40-mile-long military convoy in Ukraine

Bit of a tire expert here. Those aren't Soviet-era heavy truck radials. Chinese military tires, and I believe specifically the Yellow Sea YS20. This is a tire I first encountered in Somalia and Sudan; it's a bad Chinese copy of the excellent Michelin XZL military tire design.
