Possibility of getting caught on field elements or uneven flooring notwithstanding, a concern when using really small wheels is tread wear. If you think about it, 2.5" wheels are traveling the same distance with much less tread. Now the Colsons are wonders for durability, but they will still wear down pretty quickly and become slicker sooner. But if it's a WCD setup, you should be fine to replace wheels often.
