It's a Mini, you're going to get wheelspin no matter what you do. That's all part of Mini driving. As for your tyres, well you've got a multitude available to you. It's hard to recommend anything without knowing the surface though?
Personal favourites for us are the HPI X patterns, Pit Shimuzu (treaded) and Ride S compound. Cant help you with foam though, we cant run em here and I've never tried them.
