It's not drop thru and the wheel cut outs army that big, cause I get wheel bite with 70mm
And I've only had them for about 3months and I've gone through about 2mm of urathane

isnt the board drop-through with giant wheel cut outs??? Also who cares if the wheels are coning!!! That means they slide better. You should see my Early Blueys, they are like 48mm, I still ride them.

once you start blasting bigger slides you will be eating at least one mm per session. it will happen just skate and enjoy in the meantime

I don't really care about losing mms any more, I got some 80a zombie hawgs and I can hold out my slide for about 8ft
I just want wheels that slide like as if your in the wet or on dirt
Any ideas??

Dunno why i thought it was drop through, just the shape I guess. Either way 2mm really? Are you going to get new wheels everytime they lose a couple of mils???? I've had my blueys almost 3 months now, they have lost over 20mm of urethane.
Define "Better sliding wheels," wheels that slide for you? Wheels that last forever?

83a Stims are the better wheels on the market these days.

Really, I got a couple pair of wheels over 86a and I thought they were abit scratchy and rough
But I will give 'em a try ( I doubt the every wheel over 86a is to rough)
Thnx man

Any hard wheel is going to be rough... 89a retro thane slides like hard plastic or like you were on ice or dirt.

 

If you want a smooth wheel, go a softer thane and learn to slide with a bit of resistance being thrown back at you

abec 11 classic freerides are fun but are already wearing down fast after 2 days of skating them
