Roughtop v wedgetop is a question of turning and maneuverability. In 2010, out 6WD was roughtop center (for traction and pushing power) with wedgetop corners, for turning. Of course, our centers were dropped.

IMO, the dense spacing between ridges on roughtop treading makes it harder to pivot on roughtop, whereas the spacing on wedgetop wheels allows the ridges to fold over as you turn, making turning easier - though I could be wrong.
