I haven't seen them tested, so you'd really have to just try it to find out. I would guess that it would not be very good, since the tread pattern decreases the area of the wheel that is contacting the disc as it goes through the shooter.
However, I think the problem with them will be more related to how firm the tread is. If you've ever held one of those VEX Pro versa wheels you'll know that they're very hard to the point that the tread's edges are sharp to the touch. Something that almost all teams have found is that wheels that can compress are better, since they get better contact with the disc.
