Unfortunately the rules for this season (in Denmark) is 7-minute-heats. It really is tough for the equipment.
I run 7mn here in france for my regional championship, we can use tires we want. I now use Sorex 40 because of the hot weather here in south france, and my car is perfect 6mn, last mn it begin to slip.
The thing you could do is to not warm the tires before the run, try to make a setup to keep the tires temp on all the tire, not only the inner or outer. Try less camber (1,5°), less toe and less camber change.
