Tread doesn't have to contact the floor to be insanely useful this year. Having a set of tread to assist in the gaps between the wheels could be insanely useful. The wheels would be a bit larger than the tread pulley diameter (e.g. 4" wheels, but 3.5" tread pulleys.

IMO the big unknown is traversing the rough terrain in this setup - if the open edges are really as sharp as the field tour suggests, then the pneumatic tires and any tread solutions need to be REALLY tough.
