Re: Durability of AM Plaction Wheels for Parades
You'll wear those out rather quickly if turning at all. If you're only going straight, they might last. If you can make hubs to adapt them to your setup, I'd recommend Colson wheels for this use. In fact, this year, we chose Colson wheels for many reasons, but one of them being we didn't want to deal with changing wheels/treads ever, including parades in the post-season.
