93a vs 97a dragons?

looking at Chris Hietts new dragon wheels.

i'm wondering how noticeable the difference between my current wheels (93a dragon formula nano cubics) and his 97a dragons would be?

i mostly skate transition and all the parks/diy here are kinda rough concrete. i also cruise around lots on semi rough sidewalks etc. I think wheels that are a little less grabby would be good for me but I'm on a tight budget and worried about going for something too hard. thoughts?

question about chips

is it better to pull these chips out and squish the griptape back down or leave them in until they fall out on their own?

this board is on its last life so i guess the difference it would make is really negligible but i'm wondering for when my next board reaches this stage if I should be trying to keep the chips intact ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

new board yayy

gotta ride my current board til the wheels fall off but I couldn't help myself and started setting this one up a little early :p

didn't love the graphic so was gonna repaint it but I actually really liked the blank ply after sanding, prb leaving it like that ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ✨💜

update on my last post, thanks everyone who helped me out :)

picked up some indy softs today. feeling like i put shiny new rims on a clapped out civic but i can't afford a new board so this is a good upgrade for now

have you ever changed your bushings? how did you know they were ready to be replaced?

my trucks are prb 5 years old, definitely weathered but would replacing the bushings make any noticeable difference?
