Looks like the designer had hiccups.

Is there supposed to be some advantage to this configuration? Something to balance out the likelihood of getting 50% more flat tires?

the more the merrier...the designer says it is for better traction and less chance of a total blowout going around a corner

Here's what the article said:


The ideas behind the Tyrell P34 don’t necessarily translate to the C6W, though Ferruccio Covini, the company’s founder, gives the following reasons for creating his modern-day six-wheeler:

• Less risk of front tires deflating
• Less risk of aquaplaning
• Better braking
• Better grip
• Better comfort
• Better absorption of frontal impact
