Long landing roll out can easily be fixed in less than 5 minutes at a cost of less than 10 cents and can be undone in less than 5 minutes if you don't like the solution.

Slip a short piece of tubing over the wheel collar and against the rim on the mains. Adjust for a very slight mount of friction. Landing roll will be cut in half. I have four airplanes that I occasionally land at a very high speed that have collars to prevent excessive roll out.

I had thought about doing that too, and given that the plane seems to push forward at low idle this may not hurt takeoff performance either.
