If your looking for a all-around wheel that has a vide contact patch and stable, but still can be used to sliding, these are the wheels you should get.

I highly recomment that if you can get your hands on a set of these, you try them, you will not be disappointed.

This was my first own longboard and it has served me very well. So far I have taken it everywhere. I use it to go to the store, lectures and so on.

If your looking for a pintail, this is the one you should get !
