Love them, have my second set on currently. Have a third and fourth on ice waiting to be ridden.

I prefer them over the classic shape

[chris.]

Yeah I absolutely love the tablets. Everything feels good, I personally think they looks good, and they really do feel nice on tougher ground.

I don't really like them to be honest. Feels harder to get into slappies and unless you really need the wider contact patch right away because you skate rougher spots, I don't see any advantage they have over radial slims which feel more nimble, are more agile in a sense with the slight taper, and lock in just as well.

edit:
they're still really good wheels as are all spitfire f4s. but if we're breaking down the minor differences i definitely prefer radial slims a bit more.

I feel exactly the same. I stopped skating them and switched to a Bones Easy Streets V4 until I can get get some more Radials or Radial Slims (two shapes we haven't had available over here in like 6 months). They were nice for cruising down the rough streets but as soon as I did anything else (especially mini-ramp) that super squared off shape was a hinderance. The only reason I tried them is because of the Great Spitfire Shortage of 2019. I'm actually liking the Bones a lot more than I thought I would. Depending on how they hold up I may be sticking with them for awhile.

Same, I came from radial slims and I’m just kinda waiting for my tablets to get to a point where I feel like getting a new set. They are fine I just think the Slims have a little more going for them.

[fulfillthedream]

the classic shape is the best!

just ordered another set due to this fucking thread.

[TheO7herOne]

you all saved me from buying some tablets today, good looking out .

[Coffee]

Was about to buy some 52mm tablets since I ride venture lows but I’m also about to switch to thunder hi’s and my local shop has some 54mm conicals I’ve got my eye on so skipping the tablets.

I haven’t had classics in a few years now that I think about it. I think if I see a set of 53’s next time I’m at vu I might grab a set

Oh yeah I did see that. Hopefully I’ll get time this week to hit the park and swing through the shop

Thanks. glad I skipped the tablets than. Ordered some f4 radials never had f4s before looking forward to it.

they last twice as long as any other wheelbrand, slide in all the right places and are pretty much impossible to flatspot.
It’s going to be hard for you to skate anything else now ☺️

First time on F4? Be prepared to never be able to ride another wheel. Everything else to me just feels lesser

[Fred Gerwer Frank Gall]

I don't think F4s are faster than SPF in park or STF in streets or last as long as either  BUT they are a far  superior wheel to both Bones formulas. F4s just feel way better on all terrain. And I like they slip to grip ratio far better on F4s also.

99 or 101?

[ultrabra]

Spitfire formula four 100, in the shape of an Bones V3. Heaven.

[Skart]

Radial slims feel/look soo nice in person man. Should have bought a set a long time ago

[sharkin]

are radials the best shape?

I think they might be.

those oski 57mm radial 99a must b real nice

For me, the standard radials are the best. Wish they'd offer them more consistently, but I'm guessing they're not nearly as popular as classics and conicals.

you never forget your first

[B0udoir]

And I like they slip to grip ratio far better on F4s also.

This. With F4s you can instinctually feel the saddle point when the grip transition to slip. You know how much amount of pressure you have to put to slide or not. I mean, they are predictable.

Concerning the shape: radial slim or classic, indeed. Depends if you prefer more lock or a better roll over copping. Conicals (and especially the fulls) offer a great stability when rolling though, I would recommend them for beginners.

This. I drank the wide wheel kool-aid hard, (other than radials) other shapes just dainty.

There is no wheel but the one true wheel, and Conical Full F4 is his name

[Paco Supreme]

I made the switch this year from conical full to radial and I’m very happy, from a wheel standpoint at least.

The rest of my life sucks
