Re: 8" Pnumatic Wheels @ Andymark soldout

You might be able to get away with adding airing up the tire a lot to increase the grip on the hub, but I would have concentricity concerns using the AM hub on the Harbor Freight red tire. We're 3d printing hubs, but I wouldn't have huge concerns with wrapping the hubs in something to make it a bigger diameter (duct tape?). Due to the nature of how those wheels and tires work, the tube should help to center it a little. I would still have concerns about large impacts due to the smaller bead retainer in the bigger tire.
