The grippier the tread the more they bite. The more they bite the more material you move and the track wears down or away more and more. Guys with big mud tyres are always ripping up tracks instead of just plodding through. And after a bit of use its gone from passable to a challenge.
An interesting one is undtitching beams for tracks, tried during WW1 to help tanks.

A really dodgy bloke would leave enough slack in the cable ties to allow the arrangement to fold up flat for convenient and innocuous storage within the vehicle.
