Compatible Wheel Sizes

The Powell Peralta SSF Byron Essert 72mm 75A 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:

• SSF PRO Byron Essert 72mm 75A (White): 30% grippier than standard SSF, ideal for downhill with smooth slides.
• Snakes 66mm 75A (White): Smaller for tighter setups, offering similar SSF slide performance.

Orangatang:

• In Heat 70mm 77A (Orange): Slightly smaller and firmer for faster slides on 8.6" to 9.0" decks.
• Beefcake 73mm 80A (Orange): Larger and softer for smoother slides on similar setups.

General Guideline: For 8.6" to 9.0" decks with Independent 159 trucks, 66-73mm wheels with 75A to 80A durometers are optimal. The 72mm 75A SSF excels in freeriding, while 77A or 80A wheels offer faster slides. Use risers with wheels over 70mm to avoid wheelbite.

Deck and Truck Compatibility

The Powell Peralta SSF Byron Essert 72mm 75A 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, requires risers to prevent wheelbite.

General Guideline: Use 1/8" to 1/4" risers with 72mm wheels on 8.6" to 9.0" decks to avoid wheelbite, especially with 75A wheels. Quality bearings (e.g., Bones Reds) enhance roll speed for freeriding. Avoid rough sidewalks, as the 75A SSF may wear on abrasive surfaces.
