i tend to think of stupid stuff

[George Curtis]

so why do the wheels/tires on webers have a tread pattern ?

 

[Frank H]

To make them look like real tires , cuz guys would care about that.

 

[Steve Whiting]

I wouldnt say that was stupid George, I think that is a very good question. Unfortunantly, I bet we never get a good answer to the question.

 

[Chris Nauman]

Less material = less cost.

Remember when Coca-Cola started putting a little indent in the top of cans? That saved them millions a year on aluminum expenses...

Just a thought.

if they didnt george they would be racing slicks i guess

Well for traction of course!

Lampe had snow tires on all of his grills, prior to building the P1gvilion.

Ditto what Mike said......

 

[Dwain Pannell]

Definitely so you don't get stuck in the mud.

[George Curtis]

you guys are funneee !

 

[R Cain]

Just like on your car, for the rain, otherwise no grilling on rainy days. I also dig the white walls on those tires, makes them look old school.

 

[Bob Sample]

How about a mag wheel mod for the kettles. Come on Weber great idea there.

Hey that's an idea!! Actually snow chains for Weber's? Might be the next big amazon seller!

 

[timothy]

You need to rotate them so you don't get uneven tread wear.
I wish Weber would bring back the rubber tires as a possible upgrade. As much as I move my Weby's I would add those in a second.

aren't there some lawn mower or such wheels that will work ?

Yes there are George.
But I would prefer Weber wheels if possible.

well, lots a luck on that one. I was thinking that one could get the newer wheels with the flat caps and either chrome them or for me to put some Mercedes star emblems on them. I saw someone use mower wheels but chromed the metal hub part. or maybe cut small holes in the wheel and stick some small led light bulbs through for that special
effect you know you want !
