Krayjee Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 I'm pretty sure it's just for looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTA3Freak-2001 Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 Well I've heard it does actually give better offroad capabilities for vehicles, dunno if its actually true as I don't use them due to them being ugly as lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mxyzptlk Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 I think they are a placebo; they don't do anything but you think they do and therefore you drive better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cronusthetitan Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 They do help. When I was racing Claude through the country, I kept sliding off the road, then tried with a set of off roads and I didnt slide nearly as much. But if you wanna try it yourself, get a sporty car and try to take it up a steep hill until you slide down. Then get some of the off road tires and try it again, you'll go further.

Grove Banger Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 yeah i think they do make a difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niteangel´ Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 I'm not sure but I also think they do make a difference. I once tested it out and slid less then with other wheels. You might find proof in the wheels data ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireman Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 The rumpo in the mission Life's a beach has off-road wheels (the only Rumpo in the whole game which has other wheels) and I can sure tell a difference between that the car was like BOUNCE BOUNCE when I jumped it with off road wheels. -Slurp Slurp, Hmmm...

DJ Thornus Posted September 23, 2005 Author Share Posted September 23, 2005 Well, I tested the off road wheels in the mini lagoon that is in the west of the sherman dam lake the one with the bridge due it has a pendient y put first a moonbeam wiht the normal wheels in there and it slid into the water, then with one from transfender and finally with the off-road wheels, they gave me the same reaction; also i repeated that with a bullet and was the same thing. So definitevely OFF-ROAD WHEELS ARE A PLACEBO, they really don't work as its name says. bye Excuse me for my vocabulary i'm from bolivia...

Mike_Toreno Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 Did you people not read Mxy's post?? It's called Placebo, you think that offroad vehicles help therefore you frive better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTA3Freak-2001 Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 Well in the racing mission you get better traction if you put off-road tyres on the Buffalo which is what I used so prehaps its a mission specific thing and doens't work in normal gameplay. Yeah just tested it and it doesn't really make any difference, this was using the Taxi as the basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did the same thing with the same car... I won, but I can't tell if it's from luck, better driving from percieved skill, or good handling from offroad wheels.

ATK Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 They dont. I put them on a banshe an whent up numerous hill a number of times with and without them. Like Mxyzptlk said, when you buy them to go off road you think that you will drive better so your mentality just sets you to dive better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTA3Freak-2001 Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 I just found in that mission the car was less prone to fishtail on both off-road and on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaKa Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 Whenever i'm gonna take the Railway routes i go to Transfender with a vehicle give it Off Road Wheels and Hydraulics Then i turn the Hydraulics on and the controller doesn't vibrate like it does when u have the ordinary stuff on so i think that they make a difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireman Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 Just steal the rumpo in the mission life's a beach and then drive with it and then drive with the other rumpo it makes WAY of a difference but not with the off-road though but those wheels bounce way more.- Slurp Slurp, Hmmm...

Burning Rubber Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 I wouldn't think that they would make a difference, probably a placebo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOOM! Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 Well in the racing mission you get better traction if you put off-road tyres on the Buffalo which is what I used so prehaps its a mission specific thing and doens't work in normal gameplay. Yeah just tested it and it doesn't really make any difference, this was using the Taxi as the basis. The buffalo seems to have a slight off-road bonus no matter what tires you're using. As far as I'm concerend, their only purpose is to make a car look more bad-ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajkhan316` Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 Which mission has a buffalo?, i don't remeber... Actually you don't use the buffalo for any mission. But as it is parked right outside Catalina's hideout, it is convinient and can be used with all of her missions and "Wu Zi Mu". - FiJiAn 4 LiFe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
