How good are your tires??

It's understood that we'll want to keep a few extra on-hand, but i'm not sure exactly how many of these we should expect to go through. I know those tires are designed to take on a significant amount of weight, which shouldn't be a problem with 4.

All ideas appreciated.

Yea, pneumatic tires are a great concept, but they are a lil much (if u know what i am getting at). If u look at the reason they were invented, they are made to absorb irregular sufaces on the riding suface. We really don't deal with complications liek that on the rock hard, flat carpet surface. We have all concidered them in the past, but it just turns out to be overkill, the foam insides or softer rubber should be sufficient for the rap curbs and such when it comes to impact and shock absorbtion.
