In my team's experience, blue nitrile tread isn't much better than orange in terms of wear. It still wears relatively quickly, and just gets murdered by trying to use it on cement (for demos and such). Also, because of the toughness of the backing material, it is very hard to cut to size, even with sharp razors. It might have slightly more traction than other types of tread, but I'm not sure we'll be using it again next season.
