"i will ask kleemann to play with chip tuning to reduce the power at lower RPM if it is possible because i dont want all this power from zero."
This is likely the best solution. You may also be able to lock out 1st gear; some cars nowadays actually start out from second gear, as I recall. Additionally, you may fit a numerically shorter final drive, effectively making the gearing taller. This will reduce the torque multiplication. A side benefit is reduced RPM at highway cruising speed; good for fuel economy and noise.


For tires, there are some out there with lower treadwear ratings (generally softer, but not always) or tires which put more rubber to the surface. P-Zero Corsas, Yokohama Advan A048, Toyo R888, and various Hoosiers and Kumhos. If you don't have a lot of standing water in your area (not likely a problem in Abu Dhabi?), then these will work fine:
Hoosier Ecsta V710 with treadwear of 30 (vs 80 for MPSC).


Kumho Ecsta V710
