*******************************

Tires are solid , small diameter and have a fairly shallow tread depth ,, so they have a wide but short contact patch with absolutely no "give" to make decent contact with the surface... which is what you were alluding to with the tire pressure. Our gravity is much stronger here and you can see the tires contact patch is not flat on the bottom.. Maybe NASA should hire some car guys before they waste money on another of these..
