Why waste perfectly good rubber just to see if it will work.
But if you REALLY HAVE TO DO IT, wet them down, and the driveway or road in front of them. They will spin easier, water will act as a cushion for wear, and marks are diminished


Might get a bit of burn with a stick and sidestepping the clutch, but unless your geared really REALLY deep, I doubt the slushbox would do it except for maybe a couple of seconds.

Rumor has it that every 5 seconds of burnout = 1000 miles of tire wear.

Your burnout ability will really depend on the gear ratio of the rear end. If you have a 2.75, probably not, if you have a 4.0, most likely.

Heheheh! Got a three second burnout yesterday on my BFG 31ers. Scared the hell out of some kid who pulled up beside my reving his Ranger's 4 banger. Though that damn hydraulic clutch keeps trying to dampen power transfer and sometimes I get a hop and skip if I pop the clutch. Wish I had a mechanical clutch!
