This what you are seeing.
Options:
1. Get an adjustment for your throttle pedal (connection between brain and foot) to modify wheelspin frequency
2. Retain driving habits and try AA/200 tyres - I suspect they will wear out in less than 2 years OR they may go harder faster
3. Sell car and purchase bicycle
4. Follow someone else's suggestion
Seriously, you will need a massive wide tyre to provide grip for the torque you have. Put those wider/grippy tyres on the car and other parts of the driveline will start failing.
I have had NT05 on my car and did not like them as they went hard after a year (I cover ~20K klics per year).
Best option I can suggest is Dunlop Direzza Z3 but not sure whether they are common in the US. I've used a couple of sets on my car now.

Wheel spin is at 1/4 throttle ...1..2..3rd gear soooo with them in this condition ...wasn’t so at first ...just looking for other options
Was the only issue with the nt05 was mileage ? ...how did they perform ?
