I'm not sure how well it would work but from a matinence stand point, it seems better then normal, treaded wheels.

with the idea here, there are two possibilities, custom tracks/wheels, or all stock components. The latter, much harder to find.

If you want simple to change, there's a whole different route to take. You've got a two piece hub that mounts to a specific shaft size, then interchangable wheels(built to fit the hub) that are in multiple diameters, so in a matter of a minute or so, you can switch tread and wheel diameter if you chose to.
