Hi Twinturboy,

Why do you not perform a burnout?

I'm sure the Nitto will hook better if you did...

That is not true with all street tires. Most actually perform better without a burnout or a mild one at most.

This Thread is about Drag radials not regular street tire.
And I take it you have never raced your car with Drag Radials... you should try it... it is a quite a rush.
