Don't dump the clutch and peg the throttle when you shift into 2nd. Too much shock will break the tires loose. Again, this is your clue to take it a bit easier with your right foot.
Tire upgrade will help. Go pick up a wheel/tire upgrade. I think you can run 295mm in the rear on the 1M with the right wheels. Yok AD08, Dunlop ZII, Mich PSS, etc. are probably all better tires than the factory RFT.

Rear wheels of 1M are 10 inch wide and you can put 295/30 tires in the rear with stock wheels with absolutely zero modification. There are some who do this already. There are some others who put 305s too but probably with a few tricks to suspension and anything over 295 seems to push the limits of the wheel too much imo.
