If you find yourself spinning, you’re getting surprised by loss of traction. To combat that surprise you need tires with more compliance.

Racing tires have the most grip, but they also have the most change in grip. Once the optimal slip angle is exceeded,
grip falls away very quickly. On the opposite end of the spectrum is the street tire. It has low grip, but a very gradual loss of traction.
