Grippiest Wheels that you know of....

**ATOTony76** · 05-13-2009 12:10 PM

I haven't rode that many different wheels, but so far, the NeverSummer 72mm 78a are the freaking grippiest wheels i have ever rode, damn near impossible to break loose on pavement. Anyone know any other Super grippy wheels?

Oust mood wheels are pretty darn grippy

Seismic Avillas, or pink zigs or zig zags.

Avilas FO SHO! You can get them in 73a and they have a 65mm contact patch. You aren't going ANYWHERE...except maybe highside.

mmmmm I think not. superballs slide like mad

Lime Big Zigs - 80a
Black 77mm Hawgs - 78a

For really rough asphalt: Avilas - 72a

Grippiest small wheel: 62mm Alligators FTW!!!

EW road rages, tried to slide them at 30mph, didnt end well

Abec 11 Grippens (75a) are pretty ridiculously grippy (as their name implies). I don't even bother trying to stand-up slide them unless they're worn down and the edges strongly beveled off. Even then it's pretty unpredictable and jumpy on long slides.

what do you guys think of 81a gummballs?

**rosewood thief** · 05-13-2009 01:53 PM

in my experience, zigzags and avilas

Yeah, 83a wheels with slightly rounded lips are usually a bitch to slide.

i dont think they are that grippy. i have 75a on the back of a pumping set up and almost killed myself when the tail slid like mad in a very strong pump, sending me head first into a curb....

i will be replacing these next pay check, maybe avillas, but i heard the yare SUPER heavy and i live on the flats... hmm.

That's not the wheel, it's you.

And SoFlo, that is just a false statement. I can slide my purptangs with ease, and they're fully broken in yet.

And to contribute to the thread, 77a Bigzigs.

The faster you go, the easier a wheel slides i find...

I have some 72a avila. Very grippy but they still slide. I was carving this one freakin STEEP hill. Literally every carve was turning into a monster speedcheck and I was hauling ass. The pavement was kinda rough though too. I think I could have kept grip better with a shorter wheelbase though.
