I agree with Jason. To get more traction, you need more surface. Grind down the tires so they're one wide surface. Do a burnout for ten minutes on sand paper with 50 or so pounds of weight over each wheel, and immobilize it. That will do it. Or you can just use a grinder. depends on if you want it to be 'legal'.
