We will put these wheels to the test Saturday morning but having these wheels in my hand I can tell you there is no way the tread will spin on the wheel. The tread is gripped tightly on the sides.

If a failure is going to happen it will be the tread coming off not spinning.

We have one tread cut just a couple mm's short and my guess is that that wheel will more than likely fail. The others that have no gaps between the ends seam very secure.

We will see.
