I should have been more clear in my original post. We haven't actually tried them yet. Though their size and price ($4.99) make them really attractive.

I don't foresee any problems with the tread pattern (one of our prototypes used a wedgetop pattern). If there are any we can just expedite the wear process by introducing the tread to our sander. The trick would be to take off enough to make the surface even, but leave enough to still get some grip on the disk.
