Re: High Traction Wheels
Come to the dark side of Colsons.

Our team has always loved high traction drives but hate the maintenance of changing out wedgetop or roughtop tread. Blue Nitrile I've heard pretty much never wears down however losing a tread in a match has happened to us and others in matches so for a critical component like your drive train I am always a fan of solid wheels.

This year after many success stories from local teams like 125, 228, 558, and 2168 we gave Colsons a try this year (4" x 1 1/2") and we love them. Very smooth ride and they have lots of grip. We haven't noticed any wear after tons of practice plus two competitions.
