Don't put sticky tires on it. Drag radials at best but you may still encouter problems. Street tires are fine. Make sure your hydraulics are up to par.

Why not drag radials?

Drag Radials may work. Some people have had luck with them because they'd spin the tires first, rather than the tires sticking and the clutch taking the load. Either way you have to be careful with it. If you spin the tires the clutch will be ok but what's the point of that if you're not going anywhere.
