I find it interesting that tire designs have not changed in the far, far future. In this pic:

the tire design is the same as those found in 19th century farm tractors.
I was hoping for some futuristic designs, like this:

Oh, well, I guess the Need for Speed is more exciting.
I believe I heard one NASA scientist say something along the lines of, "If you are in agricultural sciences, you know that a vehicle with six wheels is almost impossible to flip and have it stay that way." Which is true of the Mako in ME1. It wasn't impossible to flip, just damn near impossible.
Why do you do this thing -> <<<<<<<<<<(0)>>>>>>>>>> ?
What they have seems better suited to off-road then what u showed.
And futuristic doesn't mean that it would work. There are reasons why a tank still has threads that are basically the same as 100 years ago. Stuff works and for military vehicles its more important that it works rather than how it looks.

Have we played the same game? The Mako lands on its roof so often, it has an automatic subroutine to right itself again using its cannon.
There's a reason "don't reinvent the wheel" is a phrase. Incidentally, it's because the wheel is so gosh darn good at what it does. I don't see how convoluted sphere wheels could substantially improve upon a combat vehicle's functionality without sacrificing other vital features like suspension and holding torque. Regardless, Mass Effect isn't the kind of universe that bombards players with a bunch of "what if..." futuristic technology.
However, I do have to wonder why–in a universe with hover cars–we are sent down to a hazardous planet with a vehicle tethered to the ground. Say what you want about the Hammerhead, it's clearly better at traversing terrain than any ground tank. Of course, I don't really care what we're sent to planets in as long as its fun to drive.
Utilizing something makes something else be non-automatic. That's number one.
Number two. By "using" the cannon, I take you mean by firing it? I didn't say that it was impossible to flip the Mako, I said it was damn near impossible. Firing the cannon would generate the thrust needed to get you back at least on your side. But then again, these guys are in the games industry. Not NASA or its equivalents. It had something to do with the weight of the wheels and there being only six of them, not eight, not 12. Six wheels. Something about how the physics would allow it to roll a side and be able to right itself eventually. The same was true of the Mako.
Number three. I certainly hope so.

I guess the handwave for this could be armor. Neither the skycars nor the Hammerhead are particularly well armored. Of course, in a universe where you can change mass, this shouldn't be an issue but then, eezo is apparently pretty expensive.

What? You don't know what you're talking about.
You drive the Mako up a mountain, it tumbles down and lands on its roof. Then, with you not even having the hands on the controls, it will move its cannon around to get the necessary leverage to get back on its wheels again. Automatically. It doesn't fire. Why would it do that?
This happened a lot, so I don't know where you got your "next to impossible" from.
The wonky vehicle physics in ME1 are in no way an indicator if 6 wheels are better or worse than any other numbers of wheels.
/facepalm
Yah, I suppose if you drive it up a mountain like a Dukes Of Hazard guy on cocaine. Yah, I suppose that could happen.

True.
But the concept of future tech being better than farm tractor tire designs seem appropriate.

Mass Effect is set a century or so in the future, and ME:A is rumored to be a few centuries after that.
The wheel has existed for millennia. Some designs just work no matter how much time has passed.
Why do you do this thing -> <<<<<<<<<<(0)>>>>>>>>>> ?
Is that a really wide vagina?
Haha... "Macko". What a goofy guy.
I knew a guy once had a name like this.Why do you do this thing -> <<<<<<<<<<(0)>>>>>>>>>> ?

[[---O---]]
I called him star wars coz it looked like one of those round fighters in the movie.
Edit: For the fun of it. The Australian Aboriginal Flag is spelled like this: [-O-]
What the... what kind of geek are you? Those are TIE-Fighters! Twin Ion Engine!
Seriously... isn't this common knowledge? People these days...
