Have the wheels on the Green Toys Dump Truck improved so that they turn on hardwood floors now as well as on carpet?

Shelley, I had computer problems, sorry this answer took so long. Unfortunately, they still slide on hardwood floors. This hasn't been a problem for my grandchildren. All their trucks have been "plowed" through dirt. I'm still waiting to see how they clean up after the rough play.

We have wood floors too. It has rubber traction on the bottom of the wheels so it helps to not let it out from under the kids. It pushes just fine on carpet as well

Hi, no sorry only the carpet ones are available for the 2010, they changed floor plans 2011.

We have no problems with it on carpet, hardwood and area rugs. No problem transitioning from one to the next either. Also drove well on the paved driveway.

In my opinion, there is definitely room for improvement. The trucks are pretty smooth for a while if you tweak them right, but overall are pretty standard and eventually become a little too unstable for higher speeds. So I'd say if you have the money to, buy the new trucks for the board (You'll have to eventually anyways). The rubber wheels on the board are certainly a pretty sweet ride if you like smoothness too!

Yes you can of carpet wooden floors not so sure it might tear up the floor if the wheels spins

It does not work on hardwood floors, the tires are plastic and designed for carpet, yards, blacktop, and concrete. Seriously, great toy but do not buy to ride on smooth hardwood or vinyl floors, the tires will spin and the quad won't move.

not sure as we have not tried that yet, but my grandson has been mowing the carpet in the living room and it pushing very easy. In fact he loves it and take the tank to fill the gas and everything. He just turned two ,

The large wheels are rubber, tube type (air filled), and the small wheels are solid plastic. In the vertical configuration the truck handles medium to rough terrain well. In the horizontal configuration it is only good for smooth surfaces due to the small plastic wheels. I can't comment on the compatibility with flooring types.

Gravely surfaces forest floors nothing really tall original can be derailed and refrain from doing spins on any kind of carpet or u will strip out the gear train not to mention drlerail one track turning while driving forwards only on carpet

NO it has small wheels on it. They work ok on pavement but work the best on a hard wood floor.

No, and I had this same concern as well. The rubber treads on the wheels make it safe to use on hard wood floors.

Yup! My kids ride on wool carpet, wood floors, sidewalks and the drive way. We LOVE this bike. It move all direction.

Amazing. I feel that the wheels are what squeek. I proved that by grabbing the wheels and sliding them against their typical path. I can tell that the path is not straight back and fourth on the tracks too. I suspect that the loosening of the handles will 'free up' the tension so they run smoothly. It drives me bonkers.

No, you dont have to put the wheels on, but we painted them and put them on crib and makes it really nice to be able ti move the crib with one hand to vacuum or retrieve toys, pacifiers etc. Once they are painted you dont notice them at all.

I would NOT use them on wood floors. The new Plasma Cars have plastic wheels and would scratch them.

Not as well as on hard surface floors. The wheels are relatively small, so don't roll real well if the child is sitting on the toy while on carpet. Our grandson primarily pushes his Wheely Bug, so rolling across carpet/rugs doesn't pose a major problem.
