ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a track section adapted to be linked to a plurality of similar track sections to form a flexible track belt for wrap around mounting on a vehicle tire, each track section having a rigid ground engaging base pad, a pair of spaced apart side wall structures that include a side plate and a pair of side plate support segments. The side plate has upper and lower portions with the lower portion disposed at an angle of between sixty-three and sixty-eight degrees relative to the horizontal. The upper portion is bent inwardly relative to the lower portion such that its inner tire engaging surface is at an angle of four to seven degrees relative to the inner surface of the lower portion. The support segments each have a pair of spaced apart apertures disposed a first distance from the ground when the track section is in a ground engaging position. The apertures of each support segment are spaced a second distance apart such that the first distance lies within the range of about forty to about seventy percent of the second distance.
