    A wheel with a greater urethane depth will have a smoother ride, though it is dependent on urethane formula as well.

    Theoretically a narrower wheel (smaller contact patch) should roll a bit easier, but I haven't really noticed a difference.

    At your weight I would stick to the low 80's in duro.

    Cool Re: What wheels should I buy?

    Gumballs 76MM or if you want 70MM Grippins, are really smooth riding
    wheels, easy to push. I prefer 78A vs a 81A for rougher roads.

    Livlier thane can be found in Zig Zags or Orangatangs, but for cush
    the ABEC 11 stuff is great. If you are going to be pushing alot, I would suggest
    a drop thru deck, much easier to push a lower, less flexy board.

    Harder wheels are faster on smooth pavement, softer wheels are faster on rough pavement. That said, I think Lime Zigs (size depends on shape of board, I don't know what that board looks like) would provide a quick and comfy ride.
