Not to steal any thunder, but they ran them stock. 228 is/was the biggest proponent for slitting Colson wheels and I think Art Dutra might have posted numbers somewhere.

Personally, I don't think the cost of implementation is worth the benefit of the added traction. Colsons are already up there in the traction world. They're just under blue nitrile if I remember correctly and slitting them still doesn't get them to nitrile's level. Their wear characteristics far outplay any wheel I've seen in FRC, though.
