I payed $140 each for my 245/70/17's!

 

I payed $125 a tires for my BFG KM MT 255/75/17 tires new. i think they are a little over 32".

I absolutly love them, silent and dig like hell.

 

thats ur truck? ive like seen all your videos. love them all. only problem with ford is that damn power steering! haha always goes out when wheeling. but i just did a burn out the other day. my tire was a little messed up but hell i got my tires plus $200. payed $200 for them and sold the rims for $400. haha so i dont really care. BFG ats. 265/75 R16. i need bigger tires anyways. but nvr neutral drop. my friend always did that in his turboed chevy. blew his tranny. but wht ever. he was an idiot.

 

I guess I'll revive this old thread with my 2 cents. I also have an 07 FX2 5.4. I put a supercharger on it, and as of now the rest of the drive train is stock. I gotta say I'm not easy on the gas pedal. I do burnouts all the time and everything is fine. Besides, if something breaks that's just God's way of telling you it's time to upgrade to performance parts!!!

 

AMEN BROTHER!!!!!!

 

If you're going to do burnouts on a regular basis, install a line-lock. It will be easier on the transmission, rear end, driveshaft and u-joints.

 

Of course burnouts are not "healthy" for your truck. Engine or tires. But if you can do something like this it's totally worth it

 

Nope!

 

How old are you? Doing a burnout OBVIOUSLY won't harm the transmission unless you do a neutral drop or power brake it until parts blow through the oil pan.

 

Even a bullet proof Torqueflite 727 would probably be damaged doing that!!!!! I did a neutral drop in a 1976 Plymouth Fury and that was it!

 

Tune up your ignition system. New plugs, wires, possible cap and rotor. Might check what your timeing is. If you throw it a few degrees of timing it won't fall flat on its face at 2500rpm. If that dosent do it then check your mass air flow sensor. Take it apart and clean that little black blob on the guitar string looking thing. That right there picked up a lot of low end power for me. A 4200 has more than enough power to play a little rough with the tires. It might be a one wheel peak but damn it i made some smoke!!!!!!!

 

If you aren't bouncing off the rev limiter and doing minute long burnouts then you are pretty safe. The most realistic danger is breaking an axle in a car with a weak rearend. Anything with a V8 in it usually has no issues. Street tires don't really grip well enough to put as much stress on parts as you may think.
