This depends on the wheel, I guess.

Many teams using 2008/2010 KOP wheels on their shooters found it necessary to remove the crowns left on the wheels from the molding process, essentially breaking in the wheel before use.

Though, I know of a team using 2006 KOP Skyway wheels that ran into Issues with them wearing over the course of the season and losing grip.
