Re: Roughtop or Wedgetop?

Hello, I am from 3310 Team Black Hawk and this year we used 6" IFI Wheels with roughtop tread. We used the roughtop tread throughout the Bayou Regional and also the Dallas Regional, and went on the the Championship in St. Louis. After St. Louis we chose to attend the Razorback Regional in the offseason and when we arrived, during practice we realized that our tread was shreded and we were unable to climb the bridge as quickly as we desired. We removed our roughtop tread and switched to wedgetop, and we experienced significant increases in traction and speed. We used the wedgetop tread throughout the Razorback Regional and also the Indiana Robotics Invitational. Our wedgetop tread shows little to no signs of wear. I would highly suggest the idea of trying IFI wheels in the future.

Thanks,

Tyler Bledsoe. 3310 Black Hawk.
