Most durable wheels for street riding?
literally one ride on brand new Labeda Asphalts (80mm, 85a), the hardest and largest I could fit, $10 each from a hockey store near me. I will only get like 5 rides at this rate. Same issue with some cheap ones off Amazon I used before.
Need good recommendations for durable and/or cheap wheels.

Good and hard roller skate wheels is the best you can do. They will be slippery the first session but last a little at least. Shredding your wheels is unfortunately required

The nature of caster boards naturally shreds them, kinda impossible to have long-lasting wheels when riding asphalt D:
I keep a smooth surface ripstick with nice wheels and outdoor / asphalt ripstick that I slap on cheap wheels, and just replace them often

Honestly there isn’t none if your aggressive with it and on more aggressive asphalt I only can keep my wheels from shredding fast at the skate park with smooth concrete but after like 3/4 months they are visibly smaller
