Sport Court’s polypropylene tile is a completely different surface than outdoor pavement or a hardwood rink — it needs a softer indoor-specific wheel to get grip instead of sliding on quick stops and cuts. Indoor hockey wheels generally run 74A-80A durometer, noticeably softer than the 82A+ wheels made for concrete or asphalt. Here’s what’s actually built and marketed for tile surfaces like Sport Court.

Buying tips
- Stay in the 74A-80A range for Sport Court — harder outdoor wheels (82A+) will slide instead of grip on tile.
- Softer wheels grip better but wear faster; if you skate multiple times a week, expect to replace a soft indoor set more often than an outdoor one.
- Rotate wheels position-to-position periodically — uneven wear from turning direction is more noticeable on grippy indoor wheels than on hard outdoor ones.
