I saw this posted over on ExPo. Tred is launching a new recovery board called the TRED Pro this Spring and is crowdfunding it on Kickstarter. It looks like they've designed something that addresses the issues of both the current TRED as well as the melting nubs of Maxtrax. $129 today will get you a pair when they're available in April/May.
I don't have any affiliation, other than I've ordered the 2 pairs + a mounting kit on Kickstarter.
