Re: Best wheel for Torque?

Well the smaller the wheel, the most torque you have. If you are talking about traction, a pneumatic wheel usually has a lot, but they are usually very large. But the major factor of how much torque you have is your gearbox, which is usually geared around what size of wheels you have. I may be wrong, but most teams decide their wheel size, the speed desired mechanism, then what gearing it takes.
