just check you're shockies arnt stuffed or leaking.

try getting some good quality tyres that rally helped me out
a tyre with soft rubber will grip the road a lot better, than a harder compound tyre but wont last as many km

or u could just slow down hehe

Good rubber makes a huge difference...and so does the wear. When i first started driving it was a task to make the Goodyear F1's on my mums car let go- even in the wet you had to be very agressive with the accelerator to get them to spin. Now that they're worn they let go with much less provocation in the wet. My mate has really old, solid tyres on and he can spin them in the dry if he's a little to eager going around a corner...these are 205's by the way- in a falcon wagon (mine) and a lowered fairmont (mates).
Having looked into new tyres a bit, i've been told that 225's on a 6" wide rim is too big- cornering performance gets crap because the sidewalls flex too much. 215's are ok tho. Also, your speedo will probably be slow by about 5-6%, meaning you can get booked much more easily...

that usually happens when you floor it

be careful when choosing your tyres because you said, 6" rims are too skinny for wide tyres. you might wanna get some 7" rims to better suit your tyres. with width too, you can go too wide and not have enough weight per square centimeter on your tyres and actually end up with less traction. i don't know how wide you have to go for this to happen though
