Hi Dan, Those treads on the back come in handy when you have to lay the truck down on it's back, and pull the truck up with ropes and such, which make for an easier climb up the stairs with what ever you are lifting.
Having said that, I understand the problem you face with the bags falling over, but if you get a good truck with air wheels, that should minimize the bouncing effect, if you find that the stairs are uneven, but if that isn't a concern, the harder wheels would be the better bet, as they allow for better control of the truck as you're climbing, so you can compensate for the unbalancing effect of the bags. In any case, see if you can get straps to come along with the truck, that you can use to secure the load onto the truck. If you can't get it from the dealer, U-Haul sells a good set for a relatively cheap price. Come to think of it, you can probably get the truck at U-Haul, albeit, at a slightly inflated price, but I do know that they're good quality. I would also check with moving supply companies in your area, as they often have sales on trucks, as packages that would include a smaller dolly and straps.
