Ok, I left work last night and we have a culdesac with a turn around circle.
I decided to have a little fun and light the tires... So I did a nice full block long burnout... holding the RPMs steady at around 4K in 2nd and just running it out...

When I got done I found powder on the street and twin white marks. For some reason all it did was clean the pavement??? Today when I came in all the tire powder had blown away and I can just see my white marks on the pavement. Is this something to do with the tire compound? I can't leave marks no matter how much rubber I burn off.

I have Bridgestone Potenza RE930s on it now and my old RE730s would do the same thing.

 

if it's not burning up your tire really at all, i'd be thankful
i wish i could do burnouts with no decrease in tire life

 

Its just the tire compound, mine do the same....

 

Thanks for the replys.. yeah.. it doesnt seem to be tearing thru them really bad. I went thru a set of GSCs in ~6months. The 730s made it a year.. not sure about these.. had them ~2 years..but the car was down for 10 months out of that time. LOL
