This is very true, and a lot of people seem to think that these AndyMark wheels are equivalent to the old Skyway kit wheels. In practice,the difference between AndyMark Kit wheels and most high traction wheels is so small that driving makes a much, much bigger difference in defensive maneuvers and keeping from being defended. The only reasons I can see for using other wheels are for differences in size, and drive method. (Although I am aware of two materials that can be put on wheels to get a coeff. of friction of about 1.6, but both are a touch pricey, and one seems rather hard to put on a wheel)
