With winter on the way there are some old but improved idea's for traction being Grip Studs. Essentially a steel pin in knobbie tyres for grip in mud and snow.
Here is the link to the report if you are interested it may get you through the next HTFU ride in style.

Got some coming soon about 200, you need to tell them the knob depth, so they work properly.
Great for running over your mates. Grin

I didn't get that brand i found some with tungstone Carbide tips, for less wear.
They should work well with the 570.
Tip: Don't put them on the RHS knobs, or you will be buying a new Muffler and be prepared to buy a new front gaurd or don't bottom out over spoon drains.
Awesome traction on the Tar "NOT"

You must be kidding McDiamond tips are the best for the tar, they have extra bite, you should have got them as they also sparkle just a bit exe eh!
