A Couple questions:
Why do people prefer who prefer Andymark over IFI wheels prefer them?
For the teams that use IFI wheels, what size do you use?
Someone mentioned changing the treads on them. How often do they get worn out?

I prefer the andymark wheels because I think they are a little more efficient and a little more durable. because the IFI wheels are not perfectly round I would think that they are less efficient (no testing here, just my thoughts) A while ago we had some IFI wheels and they seemed like they wouldn't handle side loads as well as the plastic andymark wheels in the 8 and to lesser extent 6 inch size. andymark wheels also don't require a flanged bearing, so more options are available for bearings (such as the ones that come in the KOP)
