Re: Thanks for the comments... Question for Marcus & Cory...

The reason I'm being so specific is that the type of rubber will effect the wear, so if you were using a different tire (with a "better" rubber) the Skyway pneumatic tires might not wear as well (especially on the ramp).

Regardless of what you're using, congrats, since many people have had wear problems from the ramp.

Please clarify if they're Skyway.

Thanks,

We have used 6" Skyway pneumatic tires for the past two years, and they do wear eventually. Last year we had to switch out tires before every regional, because lugging around a goal took its toll on the wheels. However, this year we haven't replaced our tires yet. So I imagine they'd do well.

[BTW] Wear on the skyway pneumatic tires could be a good and bad thing.. the more they wear the better your traction is on the carpet and mesh, but the harder it is to turn if you are using all pneumatic tires; however, you may not have a problem with that.
