Depending on the type of tread and similar things, you can expect it to last up to one regional, max. You will want to have a spare set of wheels fully treaded and ready to put on the robot in case tread comes off; you can simply put another wheel on and retread the untreaded wheel at your leisure.

It's not uncommon to swap tread at the end of the day on Friday, or between qualifications and eliminations.
