Default Need opinions, Im getting my evo real soon

So Ive decided to get the Landyachtz Evo from MuirSurf. (btw I am going to the event tomorrow to check em out)

It will be my first board. Im debating whether to get Lime BigZigs, 76mm Superballs, or the Otang in heats.

Ive read that the Lime Bigzigs have more grip than 78a gumballs, and Ive heard that In heats have better slide predictabilities (not sure if thats true)

I havent heard much about the superballs. Or searched enough about them either.

What would be the best wheels for me to start off with on my first speedboard?

So... a slidey wheel with an already slippery deck?

I think he meant Superballs.

I would go with the Superballs or O'tangs. I haven't ridden the Superballs but I would like to try them out. I have ridden O'tangs and Zigs though and prefer the O'tangs hands down. Look for the other O'tang thread I posted in if you wanna know why because I'm going to bed.

OTang Grape InHeats. Great slide predictability and decent grip when you need it. If you are skating rougher surfaces, you may want to go with the 80a, but I love my GrapeTangs! Hard to believe this wheel lives up to the hype, but it does...

fly's dont grip well at all on a slippery ass deck like the evo. but IMO go for either; Lemon BigZigs, 76mm/75a flys, or EW superballs.
