High Traction Wheels

[JohnFogarty]

Hello Teams!

I have a question that I'd like to take some time to get answered as my team is now gearing up towards championship. 4901 uses the AM14U kit chasis with kit https://www.andymark.com/product-p/am-2256.htm wheels.

We've been through 2 Regional events with them and we have "burned-rubber" with them as I call it. In fact by the end of the Orlando Regional where we played out primary role as inbounder/defender we burned all the tread off of the wheels by then of the finals. This might have been because of our weight. We were playing in my mind, pretty solid defense and we only weighed 77 pounds without bumpers/battery.

I'm looking into the possibility of purchasing a different set of wheels that could potentially give us even more traction. Almost to the level of this if you'd like a refrence http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/photos/39365

Has anyone got any suggestions on high traction 4" wheel types that they use and why/why not it would be a good idea to incorporate them into our drive train?
