What problems have you encountered using treads?

I have seen several posts warning rookie teams not to use treads and use four, tank-driven wheels instead because treads are harder to design, debug, etc. What are some problems that you have encountered using treads in the past?

Right now, we are considering using 1.5 inch wide, double sided timing belts as treads, possibly self-tracking if they are made. Is this a good idea?
