I've never seen FAKE tires... wow. lol.

JK jayyeone.... can't wait for you to get out crawling with us.

For the record my clod stock tires actually make it threw some stuff that the other REAL tires don't (I think just from the large surface area but hey!). Try them out, then possibly cut them up a bit like I did and add some weights up front and you will be fine.

you are perfectly almost right . closet slider on top .

dand this thing has flex and you can stiffen it by adding 1 2 3 4 inches of alloy at the centre to lessen the articulation.

its up to you on the flexability .

Id fill the gap in the closet track on the sides with silicone (clear) cauliing. that will limit quick flex and reboud and strengthen it against bending it
