It's flanged on one side. I'd be interested in seeing how the glue holds up, it might be enough as is.

Also, if the flanged side is towards the inside of the robot, it should help handle the sideways load on the tread in the worst condition (being pushed sideways by another robot). Most of the load in that case is taken by the center wheel opposite the side that's being pushed. Maybe just one flange would be okay.
