What does 65, Shore A durometer feel like?
I'm not experienced in durometer so I'd like something to compare it to (average automobile tire, average dolly tire, KOP wheels, etc). What type of common tire/rubber would be similar to 65 Shore A durometer rubber? Thanks.

Re: What does 65, Shore A durometer feel like?
Look at the McMaster-Carr site. Use the find-products field to search on 'polyurethane'. Scroll about halfway down the page and you will find a graphic that describes durometer range using examples of various points on the scales for Shore OO, Shore A, and Shore D. [there is probably a faster way to get there but the above is easy for me to remember right now.]

Shore A 65 is considered medium-hard, somewhere between tire tread and shoe heel in hardness.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
