- Reading through the metal wheel thread brings a question to mind. For years, every spring when I pull the wheelbarrow out of the shed and find a flat tire, I've threatened to pull the valve stem, get

- The problem I see with solid rubber tires is the rotating mass and chuncking off pieces of the rubber. We spend a lot of time picking up rubber from the course off of standard racing tires each meet

- Is rotating weight always bad? Why some heavy steel flywheels and some light aluminum flywheels. Wouldn't heavy rotating tires carry momentum? Wouldn't they be smoother over small surface imperfectio

- << That makes me wonder, wouldn't solid rubber tires work better on LSR cars than traditional pneumatic? Centrifugal force would destroy any solid structure even steel. A laminate made strong enough

- Centrical force would destroy any solid material even steel. A laminate structure made strong enough would be as hard as metal. A pneumatic tire is the most friendly in regard to marking, but not mad
