Just my opinion...
With wide treaded tires, you are unlikely to spin the tires at over 150mph even if the track is tore up. With skinny tires? When the track is bad, we spun from about .5 miles to the end. Makes for more interesting driving. It creates a problem for big turbo engine, as wheelspin will dump your boost, then you chop the throttle, and go left the turbo map, downshift, boost comes up, shift, spin, rinse and repeat. With wide treaded tires, it's like driving down the freeway. Personally I'd avoid smooth tires if you can get away with it, but good luck with that.
When the tires are spinning, drive it like a boat, or like a dirtbike in deep sand. Gentle inputs, let it wander if it wants. Always walk the course if you can, and look at the condition of the dirt L, Center, R. Late in the day, you'll probably want to stay left or right.
