We played 19 matches in our first event. There is noticeable wear on the drive wheels but the feeder wheels are still looking great. We plan on rotating a few and swapping a few. On the plus side, they give us noticeably better traction than previous FIRST tires we've used. They were also a lot easier to use and maintain than custom wheels with tread. I think we'll be using the DT wheels again next year. I'd be happy to let you know more at the end of the season once we've thoroughly abused these wheels
I'll note that we stayed away from the regular W pattern VersaWheels because we were worried about the rate of wear. If your team has the budget to swap out wheels regularly then these might be a great option for you due to the extra traction.
