Thank you to AndyMark for introducing this wheel! It appears to be a very solid design at a great price! Looking forward to using this in a design hopefully!
We used the 6in and didn't have any issues with losing tread or grip. The tread normally has to be replaced at least once a season. On these we didn't need to replace either of the grip wheels we used.
