But why aren't they approved? The answer (as far as I know) is that slicks are worthless in the rain, negatively affecting my ability to control my car. My point is that raising the center of gravity of a truck by two feet accomplishes the same thing. Thus, why are these heavily-modified trucks allowed to drive on…

This is slightly off topic, but why are off-road modified vehicles allowed on public roads? For example, it is illegal to drive on racing slicks on public roads.

Can't pull in clips at work, but the motorcycle chase scene in Mission Impossible II. First, Ethan Hunt can't get away from giant lumbering SUVs on a Triumph Speed Triple??? I don't think so... Second, they clearly swap the tires on the two motorcycles (the Speed Triple and the Triumph Daytona). During the road…
