Will the Sweeps work on carpet or do I need to make some changes?
Sweeps are very good on carpet. I don't know the right combo for an M-06, but on the M-05s we always run 25s on the rear and a 33s on the front - I've also run 25s and 40s on the front to get the balance right, and we also glue the sidewalls of the fronts to take away a bit of bite if necessary.
