Looking for some tire help

I'm looking for any help or suggestions on some rear slicks....I run a S/ST Camaro with a 15x15 wheel and currently running a 33x15 Hoosier. I've always run right around 8psi.
My problem is I seem to kill the side walls in only about 60 passes. I have roughly 300 lbs of ballast in the trunk to make s/st weight. Is this why I kill the sidewalls so fast?
I've never run any tire other than Hoosiers, but I'm open to any other out there if I can get more life out of them without sacrificing 60' times and performance.

Any input is GREATLY appreciated! Thanks for your help in advance!
