Bogie wheels

[Burnzy]

Getting ready to leave for a trip in the U.P. and after inspecting my sled, the 4 inner bogie wheels at the front of the skid are mostly de laminated. Is this normal? Is it an absolute necessity to replace these for a 500 mile trip? Thanks in advance.

I would if they look bad.

Yes they are known for that especially if you have studs. I highly recommend PPD brand. They look identical to the stock Soucy wheels but I am getting double the life out of the rubber on them. Travis at Barn of Parts sells them. I will not accept any other brand now.

if there are chunks missing, they need to be done as it will wear the slides out.
