Compatible Wheel Sizes

The Powell Peralta Primo 66mm 82A Yellow wheels are designed for 8.6" to 9.0" decks with trucks like Independent 159 (8.75" axle width). For alternative wheels with similar performance, consider the following sizes from Powell Peralta and Orangatang:

Powell Peralta:

• Primo 66mm 82A (Blue): Identical performance with a different color, grippy and durable for freeriding.
• Snakes 66mm 82A (Yellow): Similar SSF PRO formula, offering comparable grip and slide for 8.6" to 9.0" decks.

Orangatang:

• In Heat 70mm 83A (Purple): Firmer and larger for faster slides on 8.6" to 9.0" decks.
• Beefcake 73mm 80A (Orange): Softer and larger for smoother slides on similar setups.

General Guideline: For 8.6" to 9.0" decks with Independent 159 trucks, 66-73mm wheels with 80A to 83A durometers are optimal. The 66mm 82A Primo excels in grip and agility for freeriding, while 83A wheels offer faster slides. Use risers with wheels over 66mm to avoid wheelbite.

Deck and Truck Compatibility

The Powell Peralta Primo 66mm 82A Yellow wheels are optimized for decks 8.6" to 9.0" and pair well with:

• Independent Trucks 159 (8.75" axle): Ideal match for 8.6" to 9.0" decks, balancing stability and turning.
• Venture Trucks 6.1 (8.75" axle): Provides similar stability for freeride and street setups.
• Independent 149 (8.5" axle): Narrower for agile setups on ~8.6" decks, may require risers to prevent wheelbite.

General Guideline: Use 1/8" risers with 66mm wheels on 8.6" to 9.0" decks if wheelbite is a concern, especially with 82A wheels. Quality bearings (e.g., Bones Reds) enhance roll speed for cruising and freeriding. Avoid rough sidewalks, as the 82A SSF PRO may leave thane lines on abrasive surfaces.
