They grip when you need to carve and break loose cleanly for slides and reverts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis set uses the V6 shape: a symmetrical, double-radial profile with a sidecut, a medium ride patch and a center-set bearing, so you can flip the wheels to even out wear. A solid everyday wheel for street, park and the mixed pavement you find all over the Lowcountry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePowell-Peralta Dragon Formula urethane, 97a durometer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e56mm diameter x 36mm wide, 20.5mm contact patch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eV6 shape: symmetrical double radial with sidecut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMedium ride patch, center-set bearing seat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmooth riding surface, no core\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColorway: White\/Blue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSet of 4 wheels (bearings not included)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFAQs\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How does 97a compare to a 99a or 101a wheel?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: It is a touch softer, so it rolls smoother over rough ground while still sliding and popping much like a harder street wheel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is 56mm a good size for park and bowl?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Yes. 56mm carries speed well in transition and still works for street.
