- Or, for this particular application, track tubular tires with track
- adhesive. Conti makes some that will take 200 psi. I don't have my
- Conti catalogue handy, so I can't give you the specs on their track
- tubulars, but they might do. How much will this vehicle weigh, and
- how far is it expected to go? If you give this information, perhaps
- some of the track racers on the net can give you some
- recommendations from their personal experience.
