[Biturbos4] are tires purely pneumatic devices?

[Grant Lenahan]

Huh and I had a disagreement.  Not sure why, since this has been reported at SAE, by Tire Rack and in racing forums ad nauseum.
Yet, we did.

here's quite a bit more empirical data from Avon tyres, that demonstrates that i was not nearly assertive enough.
They are barely pneumatic at all.

QED.

actually, not entirely QED. I'm interested enough that I'l;l send some time on this when i'm not doubled booked professionally.

But for now, qed :-)
