Same issue for me, did you ever figure it out?
These Whites. fucking amazing wheels. Also, Ahmyo Akashas. You want like 70-80mm wheels for a pusher, but they can still be soft and sensual.
40T is fine. I ran 40T for a little bit before I got my haggys

Well, usually we are actually riding on clouds. The special wheel formula allows us to fly and take advantage of clouds as our road.
Close up on the wheels?
i think your so used to pneumatics that you have not gotten used to the way they are.

That deck in the photo has been stiffened with carbon fiber bottom and composite top, so itās no flex at all.
30+ is actually easier for most without bindingsā¦

Can position yourself into a tuck. Iām pretty sure your teeth chatter etc is from not riding urethane on stiff decks beforeā¦

Do you have a riser between the trucks and deck? Get a vibration dampener riser to soften it up a bit if not. I actually use a layer of cork between mine, and nice insoles in your shoes help. Now I haul ass over the brick cobble stones on my way to work.
Edit I donāt have these wheels, just some things that have helped my ride comfort

Iāve gone 30mph+ on 90mm abecās and clones itās a very different feeling from pneumies. Just recently got a set of bergmeisters and it feels is completly different both good and bad, I feel like I can run over anything and am no longer constantly spotting my line, however I also feel way more ādisconnectedā from the road and I get way less feedback from my board.
Also look at moestooge heās pushing 60mph no bindings 
Honestly I feel like itās gonna be hard for me to go back to regular thane for just commuting, but IMO on fresh smooth asphalt nothing feels better than thane, but the second thereās shit all over the road (sand, leaves, rocks Tim hortons trash). Iād rather have pneumatics for the peace of mind.

Honestly you get used to it just like pushing tiny skateboard wheels on the sidewalk.
As far as good pavement look for new communities in the burbs or bike paths. It really depends on your city but even with my cities brutal freeze thaw cycle Iāve had no issues topping out my build.

For the love of skatan , just give me the wheels and buy some 6ā pneumatics. I have no problem with going 30mph on cheap Chinese abec clones and my teeth donāt chatter. I have to admit, sorrento valley has pretty bad roads but nothing tb110 or my 107mm canāt live through. It might just be the fact that your first esk8 you rode was a pneumatic. Dr. Mikeās Hummie if Iām correct. Ive been riding all types of urethane for the past 7 years and every single wheel complain youāve mentioned is perfectly normal. There is no perfect wheel that will go over everything

I have most boards set in software to not exceed 30.6mph (49.2km/h) and ride at that speed a lot on that board in the photo above
