I last used it in 2007, so it's been a while. However, it had great durability that year (in what was a very defensive game, though less matches per event back then). We ran both of our events without replacing it, and it held up fine on carpet.

However, one outreach event on smooth concrete did wear the tread significantly. It also left blue streaks all over the concrete floor.

We ran Blue Nitrile on 865 in 2014 on a highly defensive 6wd robot because we heard how durable it was. On average the middle wheel would last 2-3 matches before it became a slick. Our outer wheels would last 4-6 matches. Changing tread was a pain requiring two people to rivet the tread to the alu performance wheel and the ziptie attachment method did not work at all. We had to buy a second set of wheels so we could swap the tread fast enough (good thing we were using a WCD). The traction was marginally better than a Colson when fresh IMO.

4/10 would not use again

Is that a 2" Stealth wheel? This would be great, if it could compete with BaneBots wheels.

Judging by the "#stealthwheel" in the caption, I'd say it is.

If you look on the drawings it has different tread Durometers for different colors. Looks like the one you can buy is the gray one which has a durometer of 77a compared to the blue(Pictured) which has a durometer of 50a. So Im guessing the new product has to do with the tread at not the wheel shape.

Also just noticed they spelled color wrong.

Colour is my favourite way to spell colour.

How wide were your wheels?

1" we used these http://www.andymark.com/product-p/am-0393.htm

Admittedly it's an edge case. Blue nitrile treads will work fine for a lot of teams but with new COTS options like Colsons I think there are better options out there.
