Or just drive it properly? An LSD helps too.

I don't get wheel spin unless its really wet or icy. The snow is fun!

I do go through tyres a bit quicker than the last car (stage 2 ibiza cupra). A set of eagle f1s last about 15-20k miles (mix of motorway and backroads).
I reckon a well tuned k03s or k04 is just as fun though, especially on the road. Personally I would like a ride ina k04 car to compare with. thats the route I would probably go if I were do do it now.
Or save the £££ and get an RS4. Had a ride in one and oh my word, they are mental. Made mine seem rather slow and inept!
