I want to explore Tim Brewers feedback a bit more. I'm curious what tire doesn't break loose when you stand on it to wrap a 600 HP car around a tree? is there a tire design or compound that helps an amateur driver keep a car in control after the tires break loose. Maybe the answer is the friction factor at the tire to road interface associated with the dynamic friction factor of a spinning tire? What is the first order factor contributing to in control vs out of control once the tire breaks loose?
