I'm sure they'll get away with it, unless they're worn down to the point where it's obvious they were doing something far beyond just driving the 'bot around. But really, getting grooves in the tread shouldn't change the coefficients of friction much at all, since the surfaces are so hard.
If they do try and cheat to get more traction out of their wheels, that's a pretty rotten thing to do, but I don't think other teams will have to be too concerned with them somehow getting considerably more traction with worn down tread.
