Pig Wheels grew out of California skateboarding and the Tum Yeto world associated with Tod Swank in the late 1980s. Its unmistakable pig-head emblem gave the label a mischievous personality at a time when skate hardware was developing its own visual language. Wheels, however, remain the reason the name matters to skaters.
Diameter, hardness and profile all influence how a setup responds to rough ground, smooth park concrete and slides. Pig's wheel ranges reflect the practical decisions involved in putting together a board, while the bold graphics keep the brand from feeling like a purely technical supplier. It is a long-running part of skateboard culture that understands both sides of the equation: how the wheels roll and how the whole setup looks and feels.
