We bought ours from McMaster P/N: 5994K711. That is actually the black tread, but you'll find the blue tread close by.

This year my team used the black tread with phenomenal results. Hard to quantify, but qualitatively, we're never going to use a different type of tread.
As far as the wear is concerned, we noticed a lot of wear early on (practice sessions and such), but as the drivers racked up hours in practice, the tread sort of settled in.
