After seeing photos of some post-competition racing slicks I would shy away from anything smaller than 4" and even then I would be worried.

Agreed. Rapid tread wear is the main drawback with small wheels. We burned through three sets of 4" wheels last year, and I got tired of changing them (not trivial in a dead axle design).
