Funny, this thread is the 6th hit on google for a no-quotes search on "u4 inner air lock"

with no other useful results at all.

a quick search on alibaba and amazon for farm truck solutions got me 2 things: a cheap source and bad news

cheap source (among many others, but lowest min qty): http://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Custom-Rubber-Playground-Ball-Kickball-of_797648507.html
bad news: .5-1psi rating on a name-brand unit. I don't think that's gonna cut it to help anything. http://www.amazon.com/Voit-Playground-Balls-Red-5-Inch/dp/B001G1LIJY/ref=sr_1_13?s=sports-and-fitness&ie=UTF8&qid=1437434235&sr=1-13&keywords=kickball

you dont want the textured ones

need to put slime in the tire so they slip around and dont make heat.


PSI rating is meaningless the way they will be used...

makes sense. smooth options didn't seem common. maybe different searches would be more fruitful.

I just decided to order the inners. if we don't find another good option before I'm swapping tires I'll run 'em and see what difference they make.

I have a person in China that takes care of my shipping and receives things to ship to me. Whatever you guys want we can get coming. She talks to the factories to get the best prices and takes care of the details.

alibaba.com is the best place to find things.

Will rubber playground balls hold up to the demands of racing on a flat?

Probably not. We need to find the most HD smooth rubber anythings that we can.
