Fast, Soft Skateboard Wheels by Fireball
Stop missing out on the spot you’ve been eyeing... The Fireball Terra Soft Skateboard Wheels have been developed and manufactured in the USA to unlock the skate spots you thought were untouchable. Take your street skating to the next level. #skateanything
The softer durometer S-Type 'Thane is wrapped around a hard polyurethane/fiberglass centerset core for super smooth and quick skating over rough surfaces. Yeah, yeah, but what does this mean? These are purposely made to crush poorly paved spots without losing much speed, while the SlidePreppedTM surface keeps the ability to powerslide your board - something one usually has to give up when opting for soft wheels due to the ‘stickyness’ of the urethane.
At 54mm (aka the most popular street skate wheel size), these are ready to throw on any street skateboard deck with your current skateboard trucks without any need for riser pads.
New to skating?
Softer wheels are also favored by beginners due to the more forgiving nature of the urethane. Similarly to longboard wheels, Terra’s will allow you to get comfortable cruising, carving, commuting and learning tricks, just like their larger wheel counterparts.
Ride with caution and always wear a helmet.
With or without bearings?
Terra wheels are available solo or with a selection of 3 different Dragon Bearing styles, all of which are sealed with extremely tight non-contact labyrinth seals on the outside to prevent dirt and gunk from hindering performance. Oh, did we mention they're GUARANTEED FOR LIFE!
ENDURE: a thicker grease for unrelenting roll
RACE: a light oil for pure speed
BUILT: built-in spacers & speed rings to reduce slop & further improve durability
Manufactured in a top factory in the USA for precise control over the process, resulting in an ultra high quality wheel, designed to shred.

FAQs
The durometer is the measurement of how hard or soft the urethane is. There are two scales: the A Scale and the B Scale. A scale is commonly used in skateboarding and is the measure of how hard or soft the urethane is. The lower the number the softer the wheel and vice versa. B Scale is only really found on select Powell Peralta wheels, and runs 20 points lower than the A Scale, therefore is aimed at more accurately measuring harder wheels. In short: cruiser skateboard wheels offer more grip and usually run from 75-90a. Hard skateboard wheels range from 90-100a and offer less grip. For the Shore Durometer Scale, 100a is technically the top end, although some brands like Mini Logo & Spitfire Formula Four’s come in 101a. For 100a wheels you’d want smooth surfaces to skate, whereas a 75a (filmer) wheel would give a quiet, smooth ride over any surface.
True, you get a few more options (currently) from Clouds. 3 durometers: 78a, 86a & 92a & a couple of different sizes, however all are made in China.
We work with the top wheel factory in the USA, allowing us to provide you the best urethane formulas and unrivaled precision. Hold the two wheels up close and you’ll see and feel the difference.
On top of this we finish our wheels with the Fireball SlidePrepped TM surface treatment to eliminate the #1 issue people have with softer wheels; that they are too grippy.
We’d recommend this durometer mostly for rough streets and surfaces. While you can technically skate a park or ramps with these, you’d typically want wheels in the 92-100a. It’s a little it of personal preference though, as some skaters might prefer the smoother/softer ride. The main thing to watch out for would be the softer wheels catching rails/curbs/ledges when trying grinds.
Choosing the best skateboard wheel size depends what your goal is.
If you are looking more to do tricks as well as cruising about, the smaller 54mm Terra Street Wheels would be more suitable. If you are solely looking to cruise around, slightly larger wheels like the Fireball Tinders, Bones Rough Riders or OG Slime Balls would likely be better.
