This.

You're best to shave them right from the get-go. If you run them full-tread, they'll squirm and feel quite scary your first time out with them running hard. Let them cool down for next session and they'll feel better but still not very confident. They get better with each run.

But just shave them to start with and avoid all that silliness of floaty handling. They'll last longer too. Full tread tires wear fast due to tread squirm and heat buildup. Shaved tires are more stable.
