I need new tires, and better ones than I have right now - but I have no money

Man, I get INCREDIBLE wheel hop in the rain...Hopefully I will get to see what it does in the burnout-box tonight, since I am taking it on its maiden voyage down the 1/4 mile.

what is your tire pressure on all four wheels?
one thing you can try (its absolutely stupid, but is something i would do. hahaha) would be to increase the pressure in your front tires. that should reduce front grip, and lean the grip balance back toward the center of the car. maybe. hehehe
TPT Toyo proxes
A modern 5-rib unidirectional tread design allows tread blocks to be optimized thus providing positive and predictable cornering characteristics as well as good straight line stability for effortless highway cruising. This unique design in combination with Toyo’s cool running tread compound ensure the PROXES TPT provides the long tread life expected from a Premium Touring Radial.
H4s toyo proxes
Two steel belts provide toughness and enhance the footprint shape under the extremes of cornering and braking. A high-rigidity bead filler and sidewall construction transfers steering input to the road resulting in optimum steering response. A single spiral wound edge and cap ply with no joints ensures uniformity and stability even at high speeds. "H" and "V" speed ratings.
thats the tpt on the left. sure looks like they are imbalanced tires to me.
