Either your tires need to break traction
OR
Your weak, 10 bolt rear end is going to snap.
No 2 ways around it. If you want NO SPIN at all, get a 12 bolt or 9" and run MT DRs. They are sticky as ****.

I vote for DR tires for manual trans cars like the bfg or nitto for 10 bolt users.
I vote for narrow Hoosier QTP dot slicks for A4 cars with less hp
I vote for MT DRs for ultimate DOT cars all around.
I vote for real slicks for any car with a 12 bolt/9" and or a M6
I'm only on my forth rear end gearset with my 10 bolt, but I dont' drag that often. When I do get some slippage from the 8" wide hoosier QTP tires I think it is saving my butt. Surprizingly i have never had to tow this car from any track. It usually breaks some pinion or ring gear teeth, and I baby it home. (noisey, yes but I still drive it home) Some think its stupid but its easier for me to cough up 300$ for a new gearset and parts than it is to hack up 2500$ for a "new 12bolt".
