Im not sure if anybody mentioned it already but sidewall of the tire has a bunch to do with it too, if you have a really low profile tire with a super stiff sidewall it is not going to flex during a launch thus spinning no matter how sticky it is. The /45/ series you have now isn't too bad though, but if you have clearance issues a /50/ series wouldn't be an option.

You best bet would be to go with a smaller rim with a set of DR's or even a really good street tire; but then again switching rims and tires is a pain as well.

I agree with Chris, just replace the 2 bad ones, get a good alignment, and hope for the best.

Do you have a welded VC? What suspension to you have? Your suspension can have as much to do with traction as your tire setup IMO.
