Maximizing the in-line CoF of Omni-wheels

Has anyone ever tried adding custom tread patterns to omniwheels in order to maximize front-to-back CoF while retaining free lateral motion? Could you theoretically use custom rubber treaded rollers? I would love to hear of and see examples of people trying this, if it's been attempted at all.
