Re: Which treads have an advantage?
Roughtop vs. Wedgetop
I think they are about comparable when it comes to traction. I believe Roughtop has a little bit higher traction.
229 used Roughtop this year, for one simple reason: wear characteristics.
The Roughtop tread wears down much nicer than the Wedgetop while providing comparable (if not better) traction.
It is mostly a matter of preference. Some teams swear by one, some swear by the other.
