This topic came up last year as well.

First of all, I guarentee you you will not have a problem with losing air, whether it be from sitting around, or from being popped.

Second, the pneumatic tires have very good wear resistance on carpet, and I expect they will have good longevity this year as well, since there are no really rough surfaces (IE the grating from last year). Last year we reaplced our tires once over two competitions and an offseason. In 2002, we never changed our tires, through regionals, nationals, and an offseason. Keep 2-4 spare tubes/tires handy, and youll be good to go.
