Umm, depends what you're after. If you need to push something or get a
lot of traction, then the deformable tires have better contact patches.
But when I'm making a robot that needs to move quickly and be able to
skid steer, well, less traction makes skid steer easier. And tracks
have their own advantages, like when you need to crawl over obstacles,
etc.
