You get more contact area between the drive wheels and the carpet when you use more wheels.

Some will argue that the reduced weight on each wheel makes it no more effective than a four-wheel system. Others will counter with the idea that the carpet fibers bend and thus have a maximum static friction force they will support for a given area.
