Re: Tread Wear

We, 395, used the 1"x6" IFI wheels with the wedge tread. It held up throughout both regionals, nationals, and extensive off-season expos and tests. However, by the end of it all, we had ground off all the tread and were left with a thin layer of gum-rubber over the fabric base. Needless to say, I HIGHLY recommend that you replace your wheels AT LEAST after your regionals and before ATL. We're looking into alternative tread functions, but as of yet have not found anything.
