NT05 tires vs MPSS

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.
