If I go really fast won't the rotational force of the wheel turning cause the loose rubber to provide me with some flotation? You know almost like it was filled?

Oh btw these are 19" rims so they turn real fast.

technically the edge of a 19" wheel travels faster (rotational speed) than that of a 17" wheel h:

So if I drive home on the railroad tracks I should be ok? I figure since the tracks go past my house I could deflate all the tires and just line myself up, hit the gas and lock the cruise control.

About a half hour is all it should take on the tracks.

You think it would be better if I ran a hose from the exhaust pipe to the tire and pumped it up that way?

How many RPMs should I hold it at to get to 35psi?
