Re: Anyone else using 2009 wheels?

They have such little traction, they're worse than omnis; without treads they may as well be unpowered casters.

From a budget wheel standpoint, I like the idea of using leftover 2009 wheels with treads attached. They're a bit heavy on the ground, but still equate to a free-ish ~6" wheel this year.
