Like not burn out? I've been told it's a waste on street tires anyway. You are running the stock pirellis yes?

Yes i beleive so, when i bought it, thats what was on it. I have to get 2 new ones anyway. Which are my current front ones. I was gunna put the back ones on the front and have 2 new rear tires for it. Prolly get a tire just to match though because i dont wanna spend that much money on the same tires lol.

Well then I would just experiment and see if you get a significantly better 60' time after doing a burnout with them. If it doesn't seem to help then you're just wasting tread. Most people seem to say that burnouts aren't required or a good thing for a street tire. That said, I've also been told by a minority of people that you should still do it. Try it out and see what results you get.

agree on the LCA's...they helped me a lot! my car would "cross lanes" going into second and almost going in third geard ...i installed BMR upper and lower control arms. problem solved! there are different applications with the LCA's from BMR, if you race, choose their racing lca's

agreed on not doing a long burnout on street tires! all you have to do is a quick little burnout to clean the dirt/dust off of them and you're good to go. don't do a long burnout on street tires.
