You mean metal spikes, like ice tires?

I've seen a few mods along those lines. All of them involved shoving
short nails through the tread and securing them with glue or
tape. Never done it myself, though, since I live in Houston.

I did this years ago on a Tamiya Holiday Buggy and it does work very well,
used small self tapper screws.

Use on odd sides of the tyre tread in zig zag pattern for best result.
