One thing you can do is try these 6in wheels from AndyMark

They should bolt right onto your existing setup and if I recall correctly from when I was playing around with one of these, they are cast with a relatively hard urethane rubber and should wear very slowly. Also I believe they are fairly slippery so if you don't have any problems with your current drive setup in terms of turning scrub, these should sub in really nicely for driving on pretty much any surface. The only place that pneumatic wheels would give you a significant advantage is on uneven surfaces where the wheels will absorb some of the shock load. If possible you may want to test both wheels or some combination of them on a variety of potential surfaces to find the best combination.
