I do agree that cantilevered wheels will definitely help with stability. And using bumpers is an easy way to protect the wheels.
We change the tread on our wheels anywhere between one and three times during a competition, depending on how it's wearing. Being able to swap out every wheel in under a minute is a huge advantage.
