Check your tire pressures when you come right off the track, you're aiming for a hot pressure of 32 front 29 rear. I usually well check my pressures when the warmers are at there peak temp, but once I come off the track the pressure will go up 1 - 3 psi. Additionally you'll have to check continuously throughout the day.

To quote your "The bike should hold its line in the turn but mine wants to run wide and I'm forcing it to hold" - thats why the tire is getting ripped up, you can mess with the suspension but is there a way you can alter your riding to use it to your advantage? Turning in earlier, then getting on the gas sooner? What about trailer braking a little harder to compress the front end more to keep a steeper rake angle? When does the bike fell like it running wide, entry, mid corner, or exit?
