I would suspect that there's actually fairly little change if you were to measure it. I wouldn't even be surprised if the CoF increased slightly.

I was in the pit of one of the teams attending their 3rd district event this weekend that were using the white tread hi-grips and after their first couple of matches they were wondering why they were now getting pushed around when they used to be the ones pushing others around. Their wheels looks almost identical to the one pictured. After they changed them they were back to pushing people around. So based on that I'd say that their coefficient of friction is way down when they look like that.
