What type of their wheels do you guys use, the pneumatic I assume? The 10 and the 12 seem too big. Any experience or preference between the 8x2 Diamond vs the 8x1.25 Ribbed?

What do you think would be easiest to integrate with the AM14U3?
Last time we used the skyway wheels was over 10 years ago. Keyed shafts and keyed hubs. We ordered the 9x3" with the bead-lok hub, but it isn't going to be easy to interface, and they are not pneumatic.

The 8x2 Colson is probably a better choice, with hubs from Vexpro or WCP, if non-pneumatic. If you can use 6" pneumatic, it looks like WCP has a very nice option.
