Jewish oral tradition, at the time of the writing of the gospels, had largely been replaced by the robust scribal polity and the infrastructure that they created that was dominant at that time. This is further evidenced by the statistically insignificant amount of transposition errors for written works from that era.
Was oral tradition around and popular for the lay polity that time? Absolutely. Was it heeded in and above scribal tradition? No, not at all.
