I am currently designing a MOC that requires part 3873 tread that needs to be
stuck onto a bar connection via part 20482 Tile, Round 1 x 1 with Bar and Pin
Holder. I do not personally own any of that specific tread piece and would like
to know if such a connection is possible. If not, is there any other piece that
fits in the holes of the tread that is relatively small?

I believe the holes in that tread are exactly bar width, so it should be fine.

Yep, should work - I don't have the tile at hand now, but other bars fit:
those here are 30374, 58176, and 40379.
Only through the central hole though, the other ones are blocked by the supports
on the underside of the tread.
