My team this year is using the andymark high performance wheels we want to use nitrile as the treads. I was looking at McMaster Carr and i saw that there were two options roughtop or smoothtop. We’re wondering which surface is better for traction; roughtop or smoothtop? Or if you have any other recommendations for better tread material, what are they?
My opinion is the wedgetop gum rubber. I’ve found it to be much stickier than the rest, although the roughtop and nitrile will be more durable.
