A couple of folks on these threads have tried the extra wheel idea. An inexpensive rotary encoder could at least let you know if the filament is grinding.
In the Cura 5.8 stable release, everyone can now tune their Z seams to look better than ever. Method series users get access to new material profiles, and the base Method model now has a printer profile, meaning the whole Method series is now supported in Cura!
We are happy to announce the next evolution in the UltiMaker 3D printer lineup: the UltiMaker Factor 4 industrial-grade 3D printer, designed to take manufacturing to new levels of efficiency and reliability. Factor 4 is an end-to-end 3D printing solution for light industrial applications

For the feeder, I don't think that a simple rubber wheel will give you enough traction, especially with slippery filaments like nylon, but Ian has a great idea for a filament tractor: http://umforum.ultimaker.com/index.php?/topic/4393-ultimaker2-feeder-system-improvements-and-ideas/?p=52246
