badlands vs. bowties in tall grass... wow -

I have been doing some eagletree tests with my truck and have discovered, well kind of a big deal.
Have you guys ever ran your truck in taller grass (like 3-4 inches) with badlands on your truck. (top speed cruising) Have you ever done the same with a tire like the bowtie.... have you noticed anything different between the two?
350 watts vs. 700 watts(upwards of 800watts), that's the difference I found! It has to be the ballooning of the tire that makes the badland just glide through the grass with the extra inches added. Even on road gravel, the bowties suck more juice than the badlands on tall grass. The bowtie just doesn't balloon, and has a hard time pushing all that grass out of the way.
I always thought that my runtime was significantly shorter than with the badlands.
