I have to comment about tire mounting pressure. 100 psi sounds way too
high. Carlisle recommends not to exceed 40 psi in general for mounting
and the maximum tire load air pressure should never be exceeded on any
tire.
That being said, I can't say I'm a tire mounting expert. I do have
some professional level experience mounting tires and 100 psi is a
potentially deadly force not to be casual about. Please be extremely
careful and consult a a professional if possible about techniques for
easier tire mounting.

Ron,
I think the brand of your tires are Nankang. At least one place sells Nankang in
slicks but I'm not sure if they'll fit under your wheel pants:
