This is pretty complicated and even though I'm studying it right now, I don't quite grasp it yet. I suggest you get Race Car Vehicle Dynamics and read that thoroughly. Also, identify what conditions for which you want to do this calculations. It's very dependent on how close the tires are to their limit.
