Wheel wear??? 6" Pneumatic tires???
In the 2 regionals we've competed in, we've used the 6" Skyway rubber wheels, and they have been chewed up pretty bad by the ramp. We find that we need to replace them about 1/2 way through the competition.
Since we need new wheels for the Natl's, we're considering going to the 6" Skyway pneumatic tires.
Anyone have experience with how these wheels hold up? I believe Rage is using them. Any comments guys?
I do note that they have much better traction all around (especially on the top ramp surface), but I am very concerned about wear, since obviously the outcome of wear in a pneumatic tire can be a flat!!!
Any experience, especially with the 6" Skyway wheels, would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
