Re: Choose The Best Wheels
2791's looking at the 2008 KoP wheels with varying combinations of roughtop tread riveted on it. Performance Wheels would be great, but they cost a lot.

Re: Choose The Best Wheels
We are using 4" plaction wheels this year. The shear amount of traction, and the fact that we had a good experience with them during the off season made us choose them.

6" plactions with wedgetop or blue nitrile roughtop depending on how final testing goes.

Re: Choose The Best Wheels
We use a 8.5"x2" Bead-LOK wheels skyway wheels sells, we then grind them down to about 6-6.5"x2". They have tons of grip, and we have yet lost one due to competition, we had a nasty hub crack in 2006 but kept going on the hub. they sell 5 different sizes ( 8.5x2, 9x2, 9x3, 10x3 and 10.5x3) also your choice of hub type. We have been using these tires since 2002 and have been really happy with them.
