A MT will drop into narrow ruts that a wider CT may roll over and not slide into BUT the wider contact patch of the CT will bump steer the rear end as it rolls into a rut so just like any bike with any tire on a loose surface, stay on the throttle slightly to always keep the bike pushing forward.
I will say going down my daughters drive I get much less rear wheel slide and a bit more traction going up.
The ruts aren't bad on my road, but the real challenge is the first 100 yds, 15deg incline straight up. That's where I hope the CT really shines (as well as coming down that hill).

In 40+ years of riding, I have not worried about taking a bike just about anywhere ... but have never tried a CT on a bike.

I am going to try to put the CT on this weekend and see how it performs.
