That's the reason for the DUKW central tyre inflation system.(And others).
As regards traction, I once got my WLA Harley Davidson stuck on a hillside and couldn't get it out of the situation no matter how I struggled. That was until I took a rope I had with me and wound it round the tyre passing it through the spokes. I then walked it out. I imagine that I wasn't the first to have done that with a rope.

Another trick I heard of was through a friend that had a cement truck unable to drive up his wet, slippery access lane. The driver sprinkled lime on his tyres and proceeded on his way.
