i have been redirected here from another thread.
what are the widest contact patch wheels i can get with a small diameter? i'm talking something in the 20-30mm contact patch range under 54mm diameter.
I like the 52mm OG Classics - 21.5mm which is half a mil smaller than a 54mm CF. The streets around me are surprisingly chunky so I went through a whole thing with this.
Shape Size Width Contact Patch Width to Contact Patch Ratio
Classics 52 32.00 15.50 48.44%
OG Classics 52 31.00 21.50 69.35%
Classic Full 52 ? ? ?
Radial 52 32.50 19.00 58.46%
Radial Slim 52 30.00 18.50 61.67%
Radial Full ? ? ? ?
Conical 52 31.50 19.50 61.90%
Conical Full ? 32.50 21.00 64.62%
Tablet 52 29.00 20.00 68.97%
Lock Ins 52 32.00 20.00 62.50%
Can't find the specs for Classic Full and Radial Full (doesn't come in 52mm), but the ratios should scale according to wheel size.
Skinniest wheel with the widest contact patch is OG Classic, but I'd go with Tablets to save weight and keep the board feeling nimble.
