Re: Why such large wheels?

Well i think the concept is that they will have more surface contact with a wider radius of wheel. In practice, I'm not sure if this works. We went with about 6" diameter, 1.5" wide wheels and they gave us enough traction to push around whoever we wanted (except two teams, sadly)
