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.
Pneumatic tires will potentially have a huge advantage on the mesh...anything that can conform to the surface in any manner will

Pneumatic tires are great. we used them last year, and one set lasted through three competitions just fine...ours were very vulnerable, and we never has any issues with stabbing/popping.

P.S. I'd say that wire mesh is an irregular surface
