Not really. The T's (if those are still around....) are probably the softest, since they are made out of Teflon. I don't really see how people can tell difference in hardness between plastic wheels... Maybe in urethane wheels (Oaks, etc.)... In plastic wheels there won't be much of a difference between each material. |

| actually theres a lot of different in the wheels, most of the materials describe themselves.. only non difference is the coloured d material wheels because they're all the same colour. ask about a wheel and if I know or someone else does, they can explain it. |

| seems like G6O's are smoother than the rest. I owned 4 pair of G7(insert letter).1ds and o's were the best. I HIGHLY recommend. |

What I have heard the A material is the best! |

| x's are slightly softer than most of them, d's are pretty hard but not too, a's are like the brr edition wheels, c's are pretty soft (kinda like the x's) e's and o's are very hard, t's are very soft, and the y's (yeti's) are the softest then there is the brandon roberts which in my mind are in between x's and a's. there's also the z's if you can find them, and those are extremely hard |

| soft wheels can get flatspots.
Which is why, in my opinion, the A's and O's are the best. |

also soft wheels (especially the yeti's) which have backs can get worn down so you need to use washers |

| ^that too.
Just get V6's from No Comply, cuz they are the same price and are backless/dual bearing
or wait for the Lab Wheels to come out. |
