Hopefully this is not the same stuff used by one of the teams in Davis. They had tread that looked like black rough top that disintegrated on the field. They left black trails of tread bits wherever they went. They were not allowed back on the field until they had replaced their tread with something else AND had demonstrated that the new material would not be a problem on the practice field.

Be sure to try any new tread on carpet before doing all your wheels
