Wheel damage and how to fix?

    I bought an evolve one board with a street setup a couple months ago and loving it but my problem is that the wheels are wearing quite badly. There's a chip in one of the wheels and the two back wheels are being worn out. I was thinking of upgrading to 107mm abec 11 wheels but idk if this problem will still be present. I was hoping the larger wheel size and the new formula might fix all those problems. Is there anyway to prevent the damage? The roads I've been going on are a mixture of smooth and rough road but has small rocks along it since the construction works around town after the earthquake make riding a challenge and are the 107mm as good as they seem?

    Cheers, Ben

    If you get 107mm don’t get Evolve version, get abec 107mm because they’ll last a lot longer. My 107mm from evolve tore up on first use just riding sidewalk and bike lane.

    Thanks for your help, could you send the link to it. The ones I looked at were on the evolve site but they were made by abec 11. I'm confusing myself here.

    Search on eBay, you’ll see the green set.

    Thanks for your help, how are these ones any different to the abec 107mm on the evolve site?

    I have both, the green 107mm are more durable than my 107mm from Evolve. But it all depends on where you’ll be riding. If the side walk, bike path, a little gravel here and there go with abec green 107mm but if on nothing but smooth ground, no side walk, bike path go with Evolve 107mm.
