It's more the full off road on quad tracks and driving over curbs but nice call back even if "missed by a mile" from reality. Those same oily roads however often have rim bending potholes and that definitely counts as rough driving. I have had to replace more than one rim after a chiraq pothole incident.

I have gotten airborne more than once. E53 is a very fun car to drive where there are no roads.

(Meausured 37° down and 15° list at one point on the ATV trail). The biggest problem with taking steep obstacles is either hitting the bumpers when the initial attack is over about 23° (bent the crap out of my license plate forgetting it hangs below my back rack) or far more common: lift a front wheel off the ground when coming over a steep ridge.

So not oily, definitely rough. I've been on three wheels many times. Most will group that into "rough"

Oh: the wet leaf tires work amazing well on wet grass over sand base where all season will dig an instant rut.
