Re: Tread Wear

We used 4" wheels this year with appx. 0.8125" tread width. We changed the treads once or twice per event. Roughtop seems to wear quicker than wedgetop. However, this comparison is from 6" to 4" wheels, and 4" wheels will wear quicker right off the bat.

We can retread all 6 of our wheels in about 10 minutes if we're working quickly, so it's never really a big deal.
