A longer wheel base grants more resistance to rotation, both caused by your robot, as well as caused by other robots.

But the robots motors will have to be back driven for this to happen... The tread rub in tank turning is sideways, but there is still traction inline with the wheels, and this doesn't go away when transverse tread rub is reduced. Rotation of the robot will still require that the wheels turn, and therefore the motors are back driven, or the treads slip. If you are powering the motors, like during a pushing match, you should be fine if the traction is enough.
