The wheels supplied in the 2009 KOP are very different from previous years’ kit wheels. The tread material is Celcon M90, and has the following coefficients of friction on white, rippled fiberglass plastic sheet
Inline, static: 0.06 Inline, dynamic: 0.05 Transverse, static: 0.14 Transverse, dynamic: 0.10
the transverse seams really high compared to the static.
