I installed a 31 cc Honda 4 stroke with the Staton mount and tire wear was excessive.

The roller was knurled and it cut into the rubber like a file.

Using an angle grinder, I cut about 6 grooves lengthwise into the roller.

(It looks like a shallow groove spline shaft.)

Tire wear went down to an acceptable level.

FWIW
