Although they "reduced the pressure on the runway from 156 lbs per square inch to just 57 lbs... ...crew members were unnerved by the hideous, high-pitched screeching and vibration associated with the tracks."
I can think of no more appropriate landing gear, for a community like this, than one which produces concerning high pitched screeching. Based and tracked.

This is the same track that's on the M113. You see, Mike Sparks designed this landing gear as a prototype for the Aerogavin
