You should get Proto's. They last forever. The urathane does not ware down at all really. They've lasted me 4 months so far and nothing is wrong with them. And I didn't lose like any urathane yet. Sliders are gooooood for street. Grippers and bangin for park/street.

Get the Proto Grippers.

dont get protos. i had a pair of grippers and i dehubed the one pretty quick and i ovalized the other one. i jut got a pair of sigature eagles and i love them. the only thing protos are good for in my opinion is for a front wheel.

Protos ares amazing. They have so much urethane. They have lifetime warranty and they come in grippers or sliders. 70-80 bucks a pair.

you had the old ones. i haven't heard of any flaws with the new protos EXCEPT that the bearing slots are a little too big. i'd get grrrrippers if you like park. i'd get sliders if you like street. i dont really like eagles but thats just my opinion the gripper urathane is alot better IMO i hear eagle sigs are better than normal ones though
