They're go-kart tires. Solid neoprene around an aluminum hub. They're really gripy, as long as they're clean, and the rear pair has a hole that mates with a shaft with two flattened sides, so it should be fairly easy to use.
Go-Cart tires sound somewhat familiar...
They have REALLY good grip (no one was able to push us once we fixed our limit switch). I remember at VCU that we held 345 (Blarg!) and all they did was spin tires and burned the carpet.
