Street vs All-Terrain Wheels – Which Setup Fits Your Riding Style?

One of the biggest decisions when buying an electric skateboard is choosing Street Wheels or All-Terrain (AT) Wheels.
They completely change how your board feels, rides, and handles rough surfaces.

At ONSRA, we see most riders go for All-Terrain setups — and for good reason.
Let’s break down the difference so you can decide what fits your riding style best.

All-Terrain (AT) Wheels – Comfort, Control, and Confidence

All-Terrain wheels dominate for one simple reason: comfort.
They’re bigger, softer, and handle real-world streets like a dream — bumps, cracks, stones, rough pavement — nothing stops them.

Why riders love AT wheels:

• Easier to control for beginners

• Smoother and more stable ride

• Effortlessly rolls over cracks, gravel, and uneven pavement

• Safer at higher speeds due to larger contact patch

• Feels more “car-like” in carving

That’s why most new riders (and even experienced ones) choose AT setups for their first board — it just feels better.
You spend less time worrying about terrain and more time enjoying the ride.

For riders who want the best balance, ONSRA’s 115 mm Rubber Wheels are the sweet spot:

• Rubber absorbs vibration far better than polyurethane

• Smooth on asphalt, forgiving on dirt roads

• Designed for daily commuting comfort without sacrificing speed

Street Wheels – Precision and Style

Street wheels are smaller, lighter, and faster — perfect for smooth asphalt, skateparks, and slides.
They’re less forgiving but deliver maximum precision for experienced riders.

Why advanced riders choose Street wheels:

• Sharper turns and more reactive carving

• Easier to slide and kick out corners

• Quicker acceleration and slightly higher top speed

• Classic “longboard feel” for pure street carving

Street wheels are great if you’re already skilled, ride mostly on smooth pavement, and want a clean, responsive ride.
But make no mistake — they’re less comfortable on rough roads and cracks.

TARMAX 100 mm – The Hybrid Solution

Polyurethane (PU) wheels are usually hard, which means more vibration and less comfort.
That’s why ONSRA created the TARMAX 100 mm Wheels — a completely new concept.

What makes them different:

• Special hollow design on the outside edge that acts like suspension

• Grips like PU but absorbs bumps like rubber

• Faster and lighter than AT wheels

• Perfect for riders who want both performance and comfort

You can think of TARMAX as the “in-between” wheel — they bridge the gap between Street precision and AT comfort.

Comfort vs Performance

Which Wheels Should You Choose?

• If you’re new to electric skateboarding: Go All-Terrain or Rubber 115 mm. You’ll have more grip, more control, and fewer crashes.

• If you’re confident and ride on smooth streets: Go Street Wheels for agility and fun carving.

• If you want a mix of both worlds: Go with TARMAX 100 mm — the hybrid comfort wheel.

Conclusion

For most riders — especially beginners — All-Terrain wheels win.
They make every ride smoother, safer, and way more comfortable.

Street wheels are fantastic for experts who want to slide, carve, and feel every inch of the road.
But the real everyday comfort comes from ONSRA’s Rubber 115 mm or TARMAX 100 mm wheels, both engineered for the perfect balance of control and enjoyment.

No matter which setup you choose, every ONSRA wheel is designed for precision, safety, and that unmistakable Swiss-engineered ride feel.
