I think Chris is asking if it would be faster to swap an already prepared wheel or to change the tread on this wheel.

For what it's worth, we could probably remove the wheel from our bot, put the new wheel on, and put the new snap ring on in under 15 seconds. There's no comparison. Any method of retreading is going to take at least 5-10x that.
