What is the coefficient of friction for these wheels and how often do you have to change the treads (if at all)? How much do they weigh btw, the website did not indicate. These wheels look great!!

GO 1403!!!

I too am interested in the weight. I couldn't afford anything more than probably .65 lbs per wheel assembled.

For tread wear, they are so wide that your ground pressure becomes pretty low and so does the wear. Unless you are spinning for the entire match, I think they should last at least a regional, if not two.
