sturdier uni tires?

[Russell Kaufman]

This request is probably a bit odd. Please forgive a newcomer to this forum.
I have had my Schwinn uni for almost 15 years. It's kept its weight about
the same, but I have gained a few pounds over the years (o.k., maybe more
than a few).

I am afraid to idle for any length of time for fear that my tire will go flat.
When I idle, the bottom portion of the wheel compresses to next to nothing.

Is there a studier tire brand I can replace my original tire with (whoops, I
meant "sturdier" up above)? Or, can I replace it perhaps with some sort of solid
tire instead?

Thanks for your help... Russ K.

Is it fully pumped up? You never know with these things.... It's my impression
that a unicycle tire should be slightly fuller than a bicycle tire...
