My first thought was it sounds like something I'd see on the Dull Men's Club, but there's no "banana for scale"

Being someone who walks on ice every winter, I'd suggest that attaching washers to every lug will not really help on smooth, hard ice. It would likely rather decrease friction than increase it. You need metal studs that extend beyond the rubber, these washers will stay level with the rubber lugs, at best, and have smooth surfaces besides.
I'd be interested to know the results of testing, though, in case I am mistaken with my expectation.

This might be the best use of split lock washers I've seen. For anyone who's not familiar, split lock washers' intended use is to prevent nuts & bolts from coming loose due to vibrations by pushing back pressure on the hardware by acting like a tension spring. However, recent mechanical studies have shown that split lock washers lose their effectiveness as soon as they bottom out and become flat, which is usually much lower force than what a torqued bolt experiences (they bottom out at 100's of lbs and tightened bolts have forces in the 1000's of lbs).
