You'll probably find it's a tyre issue. Prada Spec 2 are a similar level to the Toyo Proxes T1-R. A mid range tyre with not masses of grip. Which you wouldn't expect from them brands considering they make very good track tyres.
Either put up with them or swap over to a more premium brand like Bridgestone, Continental, Goodyear etc.
