I always heard you want either suede gloves on smooth leather or smooth gloves on suede. Smooth on smooth is too slippery and suede on suede is too grippy. That said, I have suede gloves on a smooth wheel and have no inclination to change. Plus, suede does look/feel/smell like crap when it gets dirty and worn.

I've thought the opposite... the suede palm gloves on the suede wheel is perfect - I need that extra grip. When I've taken my street car to the track - which has a plain leather steering wheel - I don't have enough grip with my gloves and have to run bare hands. |
