The SuperYO (Millcreek, Washington) Turbo Tread wheel yo-yo was made to have the appearance of a treaded car tire complete with chromed hubcap. Used a starburst response along with a wooden axle sleeve and take-apart design similar to a ProYo. Notice the initials SY in the center of the yo-yo's face. It's close cousin is the SuperYO Nitro with a ball bearing axle.

Original retail price: $7 USD.
