Where do you get tires rated for 800 mph?

Actually, the "tires" are solid aluminum if I am not mistaken.

The British record holder used them also.

Cheers,

Some sponsors have provided parts and services. A shop at Fort St. John in British Columbia is working on the engine. Another shop, in Abbotsford, British Columbia, machined the solid aluminum wheels. A shop in Port Angeles is building a magnetic braking system.

It appears that knews_hound is correct, the landing gear has been replaced with a solid aluminum wheel system.
