Default Drifting on carpet

Hey guys, I'm looking for recommendations for drift tires for running on carpet. Previously I've used ASB but there are 2 problems I've found.

1) After about 5 minutes the abs heats up so much the surface becomes sticky and it starts to gain too much tractions.

2) The club isn't keen on home made tires as they're worried that a sharp edge could damage the carpet.

It seems that tamiya and, apparently, hpi are now making drift tires in addition to yokomo. Does anyone have experience running any of these on carpet? Which would you recommend?

Thanks!

Jason
