Obviously, weight and use will be factors, but on our ~120lbs 6wd's, the center wheel is usually completely smooth after 1 event and some practice. This definitely affects traction. We switched last year to colsons and have never looked back. Roughtop and Wedgetop probably have more raw traction, but never having to deal with tread is so nice.

Yeah, blue nitrile most definitely wears out, though I believe we got 2 events out of our wheels last year, switching the middles before elims at our second event. However, I wouldn't expect everyone to get this kind of wear, considering the fact that we were 90lbs with 2" wide wheels.
