i dont know they always worked great when id do a little burnout and heat them up, they were always really stickey, but one day i was leaving the g/fs house and her dad was telling me to light em up so i did a big second gear burnout and smoked em pretty good and when i got home i noticed they were all melted and glazed looking and ever since then they have been really hard and dont hook.
How long had you used them before they started turning hard? More or less than a year?

thats odd, concidering to get them to work to their potential you need to smoke em... right after that nice 2nd gear burn out were they sticky? ever try running on them again, and heating them? that seems odd that you lit em up and they didnt work... when well thats how there suposed to work
generally yes. but i dont think you understand. i didnt just"light em up" I litterally burnt them off for like4 minutes straight. either way they never worked as good as my ET Streets so its not a big deal.

I'm surprised they didn't pop! 4 minute long burnouts will definentally **** up a set of rear tires quick!

eh i get them for a good deal at work. the tires hooked good before that, and went 10.90s yanking the tires, but as for the street they sucked. the ET streets are alot better on the street.

Well I seem to have unglazed the tires. I figured since I lit them up and just parked after that the tires cooled too fast. So I did a whole shot again got them real hot and just drove around for about 15 minutes after that and parked. Came outside an hour later and they feel a **** load better.
