A few guys at my club ran them this past weekend. What I can tell you is that on carpet, they stick very well. They have a very sharp shoulder on them that almost acts like the blade on an ice skate. It just digs into the carpet and the car flies around the corners.

This does come with the possible consequence of traction roll, but taking a little extra speed off, or steering VERY smoothly can resolve that.

I prefer a tire that allows a little side slip though. I think these may do that once that shoulder has worn down a bit, as they are a fairly hard compound.
