For carpet on M03m, I use S grip in front, M grip in rear.
Type A Slick will work on Carpet...You have to stay in the groove. I believe the A slick is like a S Grip

The stock kit tires, I heard last year the guys were using them for the Novak Race.

For some people the Threaded tires have worked for them because they clean out better than the Slicks.

Takt,
The New tires will need to be scuffed in.
I would believe they would get better after a couple of runs.
Also the track needs to have a good groove to for them.
I know Monroe is new so could be one of your problems too.
What compound are you using at Monroe?
I hope this helps
Dave
