wouldn't the same size be the best size?

Jason Hillenbrand, Someone sometime back had used some smaller diamter, wider wheels, and stated it made it easier to roll over rough ground. Looked kind of like bed frame casters. Have not seen any but have not looked very hard. A year shouldn't be the life of the originals. They shoukd hold up longer. [p]Good searching,

Jason Hillenbrand,[p]I put huge casters (2" wide, 5" dia.) on mine because I have to roll it over grass frequently. They work great.[p]The original ones are designed for smooth surfaces, IMHO. [p]The bigger they are, the easier it rolls. I had to drill out the 3/8 inch holes in the nest to 1/2 inch, which was a pain.[p]Woody54

Jason Hillenbrand,
I went to my local Ace hardware and got some casters - exact same size, but EGG rolls much easier now. It was a 5 minute job.[p]mule

SirKeats,
No, IMHO originals are too small, causing problems when rolling.
-
Woody54, Where did you find them? We have four we roll in and out of a trailer and wider would make it eazier.[p]Eggs on the move,
