i am getting a new loaded pintail flex 4 150 paris trucks planning to change out the bushing. also with super swiss six powell bearings. but i am still deciding on whether to get the 70mm 4 pres 80a wheels or the 75 in heat wheels 80a Orangutang. please help purchasing in the next week.
i have a pintail with 76mm gumballs, and i don't get anywhere close to wheelbite. i've tried my friends in heats on it, and it was fine. i think you'll be good either way.
how about wait until more people get their hands on them and post reviews or use you own judgment by comparison to other wheels you own, or do research on similarly shaped wheels and draw your own conclusions.
or read this

What is the difference between the Orangatang In Heat & 4President 80a and the 83a versions?
The 83a wheels are a harder duro. The wheels will have less grip than the 80a’s, more prone to losing traction and will be a tab bit faster on most surfaces. The 83a’s should also wear better due to the harder duro.
Note: The 83a’s are NOT SLIDE WHEELS. They will slide easier than the 80a’s, but they are still not a slide specific or even a free-ride wheel. These shapes are intended to be grippy and have high rebound lips for energy generation.
Which duro should I get?
If you want more grip go with the 80a. If you want more speed and less grip go with the 83a. This all depends on your riding style.
Note: For those that want maximum grip with less speed and hardly any worries about sliding, Orangatang is playing with developing a softer formula than the 80a. Time will tell.
If all I care about is sliding and very minimal grip what should I do?
Orangatang will be releasing a free-ride wheel, which will be geared towards riders looking for a wheel than can grip when needed and slide (buttery smooth of course) when the time is ripe. These free-ride wheels are still at least 3-5 months away from being released.
You'll probably wind up with wheelbite on the inheats. Get 4President.
you WILL NOT get wheelbite with 75mm wheels on a loaded pin. i ran orange bigzigs just fine on mine with sloppy loose paris 150s. although i think you should get some 4prez's to have more fun on a driftier wheel.
Quite personally, I'd go with the pootie tang's, they slide really nice.
