    Default Sliding Wheels for my KS?

    I've been riding a Kracked Skulls 38" M1 for about 2 months now and I want to start sliding more. I got the standard flashbacks with the board and I've already noticed some coning happening, but not too drastic.

    I've been looking at the Gravity super sliders 72mm and possibly Abec11 No Skoolz 65mm.

    My questions are:
    What do you recommend for sliding wheels with my setup (see sig)?
    If you have experience with KS am I limited to side set wheels or wheels less than 72mm?

    I am mostly looking for something less than $40 for a set of 4.

    Thanks!

    Do you want soft wheels that will be fast but allow you to slide, or do you want hard wheels that are just for sliding?

    Strikers, powerballs, and kryptos are decently slippery and still hold plenty of speed on rough pavement. Earthwing slide As are awesome for sliding, but are terrible for cruising, carving, etc. NoSkoolz are actually pretty grippy in the lower duros, but would be slidable above about 86a.

    I don't really want strictly sliding wheels. I'd like to carve around and throw in some stand-up slides and what not every now and then. also drifting corners would be fun.

    The strikers are starting to look pretty good, being side set and all. For having some grip but being able to slide should I be looking in the 81a to 88a range of duro?
