any problems on a hot track with those radials?

i'm having a problem with my car since it is such a long wheel base. on a hot day, the track starts falling apart where the shorter wheel base cars take off. when i stage up my rear tires are right behind the bald spots. so i'll take off, then blow the tires off. that's why i wanted to switch to a bias ply tire. i know you can recover better with a bias slick.

i'm kind of confused on what tire to go with. i want something wider than a 9 inch, but has the center section that will fit under my car. i can't go any bigger than 12", so that doesn't leave me much choice. a 28x10.5 would be pushing my car too hard on the top end, and a 29.5x10.5 is way too big. the closest thing i found that would work is the 29x10 hoosier DO6 bias ply.
