33 Lego wheels, tires or tracks tested on a wooded board to find the best traction. Presented in order from worst to best. Enjoy!

Test method:
adjust the slope angle until the driving car doesn't slide down or climb up but stays in place
measure the angle of inclination
calculate the coefficient of friction = tan(angle)

Potential sources of error:
traction varies along the wooden board (maybe +/- 1 degree of error in spots)
wheel rotation speed varies (faster rotation adds maybe even 2 degrees to the result with some tires, tried to minimize it by using L-motor with large tires)
vibration (happened noticeable only with 15038c03, those errors were omitted)
weight varies (shouldn't matter in theory)
uneven weight distribution on the 4 wheels
angle measurement inaccuracies
== the results are not very accurate, but I'm confident they are roughly correct

All wheels were wiped clean before testing.

The material of the wood board is pine, untreated
