I presume you are talking about drag racing. Get a new set of wheels and get some dedicated drag racing tires for the track. Drag tire's construction is a bit different than normal R'compounds, which is mostly designed for circuit driving.

I've about settled on Nitto Invo for my car, they are quiet and have a good ride. The Nitto NT05 would probably be better if you autocrossed, but the Invo has a little softer sidewall which is an advantage for drag racing.. Another good tire is the Dunlop Direzza Star Spec. None of these tires should be used in the winter though.

Invo's are stickier than NT555's and NT05's are even stickier.
