Changing to a more track oriented tire and adding camber are the only solutions outside of absolutely babying the tires, which probably gets boring quick.

Totally agree with your second comment but the first comment is inaccurate. Tires have very specific pressures where they function the best. .5 psi one way or the other and you will have adverse handling. So there is a magic tire pressure for each given tire. BFG, for example, has a chart you can download. Maxxis RC1s are great at 38 psi (if I remember right). 38.5 or 39 and you're understeering. My Pirelli Slicks function at 28-28.5 psi hot. 29 psi and you'll understeer. 27 psi and you don't get all of the grip that should be there.
