I'm also wondering about this, because the wheels my team has experience with are either 8" pneumatics from Granger, KOP grey tread wheels, mecanums, or the lunacy wheels. I'm not sure I could convince the team to switch to Colsons unless I could convey there is an absolute advantage to their use over other wheels, including fabrication of our own wheels.
