I found an old Fliteguide test of the Twin Com on the internet and it suggests to deal with the landing:

There are two main schools of thought on how to minimise landing embarrassment. The first is to use half flaps, which will get the Twin Comanche down sooner and with less of a sudden cessation of flying. The second is to simply pump up the main gear legs to maximise their extension length. This addresses two of the main causes; it reduces the nose high stance and increases the gap between the flaps and the ground. Either way the PA-30 is an aeroplane that will punish sloppy technique.
