I'm not quite sure what kind of experience others have had with wear on blue nitrile, but from my experience I would say it most definitely does wear out.

Obviously, weight and use will be factors, but on our ~120lbs 6wd's, the center wheel is usually completely smooth after 1 event and some practice. This definitely affects traction. We switched last year to colsons and have never looked back. Roughtop and Wedgetop probably have more raw traction, but never having to deal with tread is so nice.
