16.9 x 38 best.......16.9 x 34 next best......16.9 x 30.......16.9 x 28's...etc......what else you need to know? Bigger diameter is usually always better if you get the HP and gears to turn them.

I have Safemark 16.9x28's which I think are a Goodyear copy? I don't think they grip very good on hard dry tracks but the treads were rounded a bit. Sticky tracks they do bite. I reverse spun them on some concrete over the winter so I will see if that helped as they have a good edge on them now.
I'd like to have a set of Armstrong x 38's.....wish list....

Safemarks from many years ago were not a Goodyear mold.

I've never seen anything bite like an Armstrong 23degree cleat. On the track or the field.
Wish I could buy them new!

There isn't much a WC can't do.
WD's just do it better.
