Where can we find good pneumatic wheels?

[Ken Streeter]

Can one of the teams that used the McMaster wheel (2717T51) last year please post the tire information for the tires you used for that wheel?

I'm looking to find out the manufacturer and model number for that tire. Thanks!!!


Team 1519 has had great success in the past using various pneumatic Skyway wheels. See http://www.skywaywheels.com/ Their wheels are available with various semi-custom hubs, see http://skywaywheels.com/products/hubs/index.html Discounting is available for FIRST teams, as described at http://skywaywheels.com/usfirst.htm

Last year, we used the Skyway WHL-428 (a 9"x2" pneumatic) on the front of our robot. Photos can be seen at http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/photos/35102 and http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/photos/35535. The tires on these wheels were an Innova IA-2817-4 with a size of 2.80/2.50-4. These had great grip and were extremely rugged.
