Add some weight, take out some initial timing. take some hit out of the converter, if you foot brake come up on the converter some. I have lowered tire pressure a little. But, if you do heavy burn outs, stop... In the real heat just barely see any smoke let them go. The tires are good, but you are right, in some conditions they are not as forgiving as a bias. Your car might not stand up as high as it usually does but it will help it hook and you can work on that set up and have the other for killer air. I hope this helps some.
