    Tire selection

    Thanks for all the good wishes and advice!

    We have been busy the last few days preparing a 5 minute video with the status of our vehicle, this video is due at DARPA a week from today. Will get some pictures to share with you soon.

    Based on the feedback provided here (thanks!) and reading an interview with Bob Land a few years ago (thanks for the pointer) here's our initial take on tire requirements:

    Diameter: around 31 inches
    Tread width: 8-10 inches
    Plies: at least 6
    Load Range: "C" or "D"
    Wheel radius: R16 (stock '99 VX)
    Tire pressure: 25-30 psi
    Puncture resistance: tire sealant

    Opinions?
