Anybody who has the self-control to get more than a few thousands milles out of a pair of rear lightning tires should be sentenced to drive a '76 pinto.

 

He who spins is not the one who wins.

All four are smooth but I have 25,000 on them. I didn't think I would get 15,000 out of them!!

I know 4d thndr. But burnouts are sooo much fun.Anyone can convert $600 of Goodyear f1's into smoke and rubber dust.Start with one lightning hold moderate pressure on the brake pedal with left foot STOMP the gas with right. Doesn't it just beg you to do a big ol'smoky burnout.

 

Lighting them up is definitely a good intimidation factor if you have an audience.

I do a 2-5 second burnout. And it scares one 01 WS6 owner into roasting his tires when the light goes green. He is funny, I used to race him every weekend, him thinking he'd win that night, but never did. Last time we raced, my buddy Gregg did a burnout in his 00 Cmaro SS in the lane to his right, then I did my loud a$$ burnout on his left side, revving and roaring, waiting until the light goes green. His head was spinning, didn't know what the hell to do. Light went green and it was yet another race between me and Gregg. Ah, youth. 24k miles on mine.

That sounds familiar, 1 year-old Motor Trend magazine?

2 sets of rears in 12,600 miles, Man I Love my "L". The original F1's and a set of BFG's.

I've gone threw three sets on the back and none on the front in 23,000. The last day before dadio's closed down by me, I did a 45 to 50 second burnout in the truck. I must have killed ever bug within a 2 block radius. That was truley a fun experience.

Tundra-

Thanks. I knew I had heard that line about the pinto somewhere else but I just couldn't place it!

Burnouts are adictive!

 

 

No current production vehicle does a stationary burnout easier.

 

Hey guy's any of you have picture's of your lightning doing burnouts?

No pics but now that you say that I'm going to take a pic when I get my twenty's. Have no use for the 18's so might as well make some smoke with them. I'll take a video of it instead, hells ya. Good Idea. Thanks.
