I thought that the lunar rover had mesh tires. 'Cause, like, there totlly wasn't any atmosphere to push back and make tire PSI work.

But I still weigh 30 pounds on the moon, dude.

Be careful with using helium in your tires. You will basically have four Goodyear balloons at each corner and it will upset the cars handling.

make sure your pressures are dead on or you could have one side of the car, or the front, or the rear, lifting with no warning (even when parked).

I think I read that hydrogen is lighter than helium. What about filling them with mercury?

Does Mercury have a moon?

I suppose you can achieve the Hindenberg affect 4 times with hydrogen filled tires, as you can always tell who buys their Nitrogen filled tires at Costco with their green plastic valve covers. Do you guys ever wonder what NASA used to fill the tires of the lunar rover overtime parked on the moon?

I believe it's very cold in space. So NASA filled the moon rover tires with water. The water is now ice and will stay like that. The road feel of driving the moon rover is like PSS9 set on 9.

Well i just repeated what someone had mentioned to me and i found it quite unusual so i decided to ask the board what they think...whether its a silly question or not....i always respected and appreciated the advice given here because im no guru i admit...and i have heard and read some silly questions over the years... if some of you think its a silly or stupid question then too bad...grow up..some of us are still learning and want to learn more because we love our pcars and are always looking for ways to improve our pcars and ourselves...
