 Big wheels with skinny tires

I did get some first hand offroad experience in an X5, the model with tires that belong on a corvette or such. I have seen, just yesterday, 2 X5's with normal looking tires. Not sure of the difference in model. The owner was driving me around his 800+ acre estate/Hunting preserve through mud, over rocks through brush and up steep slopes, and at times, I was following in my truck. I was impressed keeping in mind his tires. With all the traction controls and do-dads, it performed only stightly worse than my 93 toyota 4x4 with 31x10.5x15 mud terrains. I unfortunatly only have open diff's. At one point he lost all control and slid down a snow covered hill off the trail, ONLY to be followed by me in slow motion out of control and feeling very nervous heading for his expensive ride. I did stop just in time. It was one of his last straws and he traded it in on a Land rover freelander?, which he lifted and modified for his adventures. I rode in that too and was impressed with the mud we plowed through.
