WCD 6" pneumatic tire wear

It should be WCP in the title and not WCD sorry

Last year we utilized the 6" WCP Diamond Tire/Wheel combination and they performed admirably in our 8 wheel drive. The only issue we had was the large amount of wear we experienced. We are wondering how everyone else did when it came to replacing these tires.

We did 3 district events, district champs and St. Louis CMP, We also did a single parade of a relatively short distance.

Below is a picture of the tires that we replaced during the season. All wore out in the middle of the tread... sometimes wearing right down to the tubes. It should be noted that 4 of these came from the practice bot.

In the 8 wheel drive we would have had a larger amount of scrub on the middle wheels so we know that some of this was from that.

Near the end of the season we wanted to switch to the other tires that WCP has (the zig zag) but we did not realize initially that they had a different wheel altogether and that those wheels were out of stock so we could not switch.

If anyone else has an experience with these please add your thoughts. Thank you!!
