I've seen teams last year with pneumatic tires with deep grooves have the same, if not more, traction than teams with treads. One team that comes to mind is team 60. They had simple wheels. Yet they were considered one of the most powerful bots last year.

303, one of our partners for the Einstein finals matches, had a considerable amount of traction with simple pneumatic tires. They had one's with very deep treads. I'm not sure what kind of drivetrain they had, I'd imagine it was 4 motor because they had a lot of pushing power.
