With street tires don't burn out before, if you do you loose traction
because when they get warm they're slippery. With race tires burn out
becuase they need heat to have traction

Time to change clutch disc and eventually stronger pressure plate if your
disc is in nice form. Eliminate cars bad positions first, have everything
working and dialed in.

Fix that first, you can't get good times with bad suspension
