Those are 101's The urethane is shallow on the hubs used as the Hubs are huge.

90's are cool until you start to go through corners. They have too much momentum for doing turns and stuff. They're cool for cruising and straight runs though, makes you feel invincible to anything in your path.

Anything bigger than an 83mm will wheel bite. Get lime Bigzigs or some 3dm's

90mm 78a and 75a are too soft for drifting they flex too much and feel chattery because of that when you drift them. they are smooth and easy to control how they break loose and regrip but the slide just doesnt feel good. i prefer the 83mm at this point 81a is my favorite. the 90's might be ok in 81a but i havent ridden them though. 83mm 81a flys are good for almost any type of riding. they are my favorite wheel at this point. i have used the for dh, distance pumping, and carving and will use them for all in the future.

i have 83 mil 75a on my EVO and i ###### love them. after breaking through the skin i can 360 all day long. i'd say practice on the duro you are used to.
