Lmao god dammit I literally JUST bought some 97a conical full 56mm, rode around on them once, and thought “shit this rocks but I bet I would like a 95 or 92 even better”
Still happy tho, they pretty much do exactly what it says on the box, so to speak. A tiny bit softer then 99s, still bark and slide plenty. A much more “real” wheel than the 92a ricta clouds I had previously used when trying to balance easy rolling with still being able to slide. F4 really is the GOAT formula, I wish spit would just crank them out in every possible shape, duro, and size.
Agreed
From TnT post though it seems like these are gonna be classic though?
These were are "once off" for TNT, as they do for some of their pro guys, and although it would be cool that they were back in production, I think they stopped making them the first time because they didn't sell well enough.
Yes the slightly softer formulas are awesome and I still have quite a few sets of 95 and 92 duros but they did have very regular issues as per the older Spitfires, including flatspots, deforming in shape and the softer ones tended to have more issues with the compound as well, some of mine not holding up like the other ones do, eg one wheel is all mushy and chunks out easily, but the other three do exactly what they are supposed to do.
Honestly though, the F4 97s are going to be way better for everything than the older Soft Ds even if they are not quite as soft, they will last a lot longer and perform better than softer wheels.
