Buy some Kold Kutters, and screw them in from the outside.  By far the 
easiest installation option.

I used to use these for ice-racers, with excellent results.  I still have 
a box of about 2500 of them, well-used and rusty now, kicking around here.

Depending on how thick the tread of your tires is, you might also want to 
add some Tire Slime or other sealant inside.
