Re: 2012 KOP wheels

I'm a big fan of the 2012 KOP wheel. It's a nice compromise between the previous kit wheels and a roughtop treaded wheel. My former team ended up using them because of cost constraints and I can happily say that they weren't a mistake. If we were to encounter a game with similar surfaces is in the near future, I'd definitely recommend these over the 2008 KOP wheel - though on a flat carpet floor, the 2008 seems a hair more smooth.

If I remember correctly, the COF of these guys is somewhere in the neighborhood of 1.0.
