Re: Mini Bot Wheels

Before you "machine" anything, try inverting the tread band on the wheel. It is a tight fit and you must be tenacious in getting it off. It goes back on the wheel relatively easily. The result is a flatish (slightly concave) tread that will give a bit more contact patch on the pole. Experiment with this setup before you make the irreversible alteration to the tires' profiles.
