Thanks. I'm surprised to see only 1/8 inch difference? In the interim I had a chance to measure the wedgetop tread (good 0.25 inches) and find a dimension somewhere (McMaster - 0.31 inches). I would have expected some dimension between those. With 6 inch traction wheel radius being 3.25 - 3.31 and OMNI right at 3.00, I would have expected the traction wheels to be raised to maybe 0.75 and the OMNI's at 0.50. Did you use the smoother, roughtop tread?
