Default Spinning tiger potters wheel

Hello All:

I have a spinning tiger wheel that eats drive wheels very quickly, I get
about 3 pots per wheel and then the black friction stuff comes lose from
the metal center part of the drive. It has destroyed two of the drive
wheels from Creative and at $25 a pop it is just too expensive to go
that route. Did the original drive wheels hold up much better than these
Creative reproductions? I suspect that the Creative design of the wheel
is using some "rubber" compound that is not suited for the high loading
required to drive the large wheel. Something like polyurathane like
skateboard wheels would probably last forever but that's not what they
offer.
Does anyone have any tried and tested fixes for this wheel? Does
anyplace offer a drive wheel that does not self destruct?

Thanks, Bri
Seattle
