Durability of AM Plaction Wheels for Parades

Hi everyone,
We are designing a showbot that will be partially used in parades (but mostly expos) for CT First. I was wondering if anyone had an comments on how AM plaction wheels hold up after driving on pavement in a parade. And after how many hours/miles the treads would need to be replaced?

If you have found that the wheels wear really quickly does anyone have any recommendations on what wheels would be usable instead? We're trying to keep the appearance of the drive train to "look" like an FRC robot for demonstration purposes, but don't want to wheels to wear too quickly. We're planning on using 6 inchers.

Thanks so much,

Anna
