I would suspect that there's actually fairly little change if you were to measure it. I wouldn't even be surprised if the CoF increased slightly.
My driver said that when the wheels became worn during the finals at Orlando he had a much harder time pushing teams. All six teams in the finals at Orlando had 6CIM drive trains. Now I'm not sure if it was the wheels at that point or if the team he tried to push was down-shifting.
