Default Kourse Kings

Hi folks, just wondering if anyone uses Kourse King tyres on a mixed carpet/gym surface. I've used them purely on shiny gym surface where they're great. Just concerned the extra grip on carpet will have the truck rolling. Any guidance as always much appreciated.

cut the outside row of spikes off all spiked tyres if it grip rolls... or start with cutting every other spike as a tester

cutting the inside row of spikes can further help if its still digging in and with both 2WD and 4WD you can eliminate too much steering by trimming further rows off front tyres.

A bit more camber can help stop grip roll too, but too much will cause 'roll' and sliding... i run at least 1 deg negative up to 2 deg negative max.
