Not comparable. Treads coming off a tread drive (ANY tread drive) from base to base interaction is a chassis that cannot withstand the rigors of FRC. Poking holes in pneumatic wheels is damaging and deliberate contact inside the frame perimeter.
Causing a team with under inflated tires to pinchflat under heavy defense is the parallel.
I'd be very interested in seeing the results of the test Mike has outlined.
