We also have 4x pneumatics. Our origanal design called for 2x pneumatics and 2x polyurethane, but the poly wheels were smaller than their specs claimed

Anyway, skid steering is hard with our 2x drill motor 8 fps drivetrain.

But, and here is what you need, we have a gallon of poly that we will be painting on at least two of the wheels in order to drop their coefficient. We may add other, even slicker stuff if we need to, but I don't think we will.

You should be able to find it at Lowes or Home Depot or whatever your local giant hardware megastore is.

I hope this helps!
