If you don't think it's worth the hassle, just use roughtop/colsons. You're not going to loose any needed power.
Just to clarify. Nitrile is a material while roughtop is a tread pattern. You can get nitrile roughtop or neoprene roughtop or a couple other rubbers. Nitrile is just about the least grippy of all the potential materials but not by much and its wear characteristics are much better than some of the other materials. That said...I still prefer colsons.
