"Hydro-pneumatic tires"?

I have never heard of any such thing as hydro-pneumatic steering tires. Most tires are pneumatic, although some can be hydraulic, i.e. filled with water to support heavy weights. If these tires are indeed some special design filled with both water and air, it ought to clearly state this to avoid confusion (and and explanation would be great; if nothing else, how they managed to use water-filled tires in Russia in winter). If not for the fact that this is a heavy vehicle and I HAVE heard of hydraulic tires on tractors, I would just assume this was a mistake, and the writer was thinking of the steering mechanism, which acts through the front wheels to steer. Those are also often hydraulic...although not hyrdo-pneumatic. Again not impossible, but strange enough it deserves explanation. The most typical thing is hydraulic steering steering via pneumatic tires. But I'm not changing anything myself, because God knows what kind of crazy engineering the Germans put into a beast like this.
