Frank (assuming you are talking about my vehicle), I don't plan on using motorcycle tires, especially on the front. The solid disc wheel is perfect for building the prototype since it can be the major part of the outer containment vessel which will be a part of the low pressure circuit. It's 5 inches wide and the whole vehicle will probably weigh about 1000 pounds maybe less. The question is can I find a narrow 17 inch tire to fit the wheel. Using the wheel as is saves me a ton of money machining something out of a huge block of aluminum. If a motorcycle tire is my ONLY option then so be it.
