A couple of questions:

I know you guys like to turn them down and cut your own pattern into them. How do you do this and how does this affect the performance of the wheels?

How does the traction of these wheels stand up to the rubber of typical pneumatic wheels on carpet and lexan? I know they have urethane tread, but that comes in a variety of hardnesses and these seem to be on the hard, low CoF side.

I'm wondering if it's worth pursuing using these in the rear for their traction advantage in conjunction with pneumatic tires for absorbing impacts in the front. Thoughts?
