Last year our team used the wheelchair wheels. We used a sloldering iron with a "V" shaped tip to cut tread into the tires. We had excellent grip. We could tow a fully loaded stretcher over the bridge without any loss of traction.
We cut the treads in at about .25" apart and .125" deep.
Hope this helps.
