We've never used treads because of the problems we've seen other teams have with treads. In the past, we've pushed teams so hard their treads came off, so that's been a big reason for us not to go with treads. We've used tread-like material on our wheels, though, to great success. When it's epoxied to solid aluminum, it doesn't slip off quite as easily...
