Small wheels best grip?

What small wheels got the best grip?

I am building a street board and there is often some sand on the streets around my home.

Thank you!

Probably the onsra 115 tbh

e: if u have to use thane, then probably orangatang harfang version, but i still wouldn’t trust it that much in rain

110s plus sand is definitely a recipe for getting loose, however the softer versions (72A and 74A) handle patches of sand better than the OG 78A wheels for sure.

I have not tried the other wheels you mentioned but compared to urethane, rubber 6X2s (Klevers) have given me WAY more grip over sandy and dusty roads than anything else I have tried. If you can take the range hit, rubber wheels may be the way to go.

oh and i forgot hollow wheels exist:

DIY Wheels - Hollow Wheels - Very Comfy

First, I don’t know if this is the right place to post. It is a DIY build, not a skateboard, but wheels. Feel free to move if I screwed up. I’m Doug. I’ve been working on this project for the past 2 years. I made hundreds of molds, made possible by 3D printing and then cast urethane into it. I took the most popular wheels on the market and redesigned them and also drew inspiration from my past engineering experiences in engine design and also suspension engineering when I worked on a small open-…

also a decent option for grip, but not sure about loose sand, gravel / wet road performance, probably still better than thane tho

airless honeycomb hands down the rubber compound has much better natural grip with pavement then thane does. Ofc i am slightly biased but im being honest having tons of experience on thane from manual into esk8 and then for a short time riding esk8 on thane before swapping to airless. I hate esk8 thane wheels personally for a few but im not against riding on thane wheels but i prefer the superior grip and comfort from my airless wheels plus the aerodynamics since i have the windmill version.

Thanks for your replies!! Let’s go for rubber wheels!

70mm contact patch - I don’t think anything can beat that

I was looking for some grip and these came up… got curious if anybody actually used these? I do a lot of wet weather and find this not at all tempting…

The tread pattern will help with hydroplaning, but your actual grip is still reliant on wet urethane which is just not going to perform as good as rubber. Onsra 115s will win out by far.
