Welcome to FTE!
Is that anything like walnut shell tires? They used to put walnut shells in the rubber to make a low tech studded tire for snow and ice. This might be what your friend is talking about.
They would throw walnut shells in the tread rubber during manufactoring. It was semi-abrasive and dug in fairly well, but didn't hum as bad as studded tires do - and it didn't tear up the roads.
