Re: Wheel replacement.

My team has used wheels with rivet-on treads on three of our robots- 2011 (plaction wheels), 2013 (custom 6" aluminum wheels) and 2014 (andymark 4" performance wheels). We used roughtop tread all three years. We would typically replace our tread once per competition, usually before playoffs. We never threw a single tread. The important part is to keep the tread pulled tight as you rivet it down.
