  We propose improved Lepton Flavor Universality (LFU) ratios in semileptonic
$P\to V \ell \bar{\nu}$ decays, when comparing $\mu$ and $\tau$ modes, that
minimize the theoretical form-factor uncertainties. These optimized ratios are
obtained with simple cuts or reweighting of the dilepton mass distributions,
which imply a minimum loss of signal on the rare tauonic modes while maximizing
the cancellation of theoretical uncertainties among the two modes. We
illustrate the usefulness of these observables in $B_c\to J/\psi$, $B_c\to
\psi(2S)$, $B\to D^\ast$ and $B_s\to D_s^\ast$ transitions, showing that in all
cases we can reach $\mathcal{O}(1\%)$ uncertainties on the SM predictions of
the improved LFU ratios employing conservatives form-factor uncertainties.
