Hm.... that lack of lateral grip might make Versa wheels a great choice for the outer 4 wheels in an 8 wheel tank drive.

I would personally prefer drop-center or omnis. They have some grip, enough to interfere with turning if you were to use them like omnis, but not enough to stop a robot with even a weak drivetrain to push you sideways into a wall with ease.
