The liner stuff does pickup dust, which is why I really like rough-top and wedge-top tread in certain applications. The treads' texturing is deep enough and radical enough so that dust doesn't linger on the surface. The liner material worked really well for us in 2001 and 2003 where we wrapped it many layers thick to get some compliance when picking up game pieces.
