Default My first burn-out.

Hmmm. Last night I was at a stop sign and couldn't resist. I revved to about 7K and just dropped the clutch. I didn't really know what to expect, but I only heard the engine screaming as my rear end started sliding. I had no idea it was so easy once you get the tires spinning. I just looked back to see a cloud of smoke. Afterwards, I felt like since I prolly took a few thousand miles off my month old S-03's.

If the rear end slid I out, I would say it was the tires and not the clutch. Nothing like a good burnout.

Nope, no burnies with the s-02's. Was still breaking in my car and sold them 3 weeks old--pretty much brand new.

How do you like the S-03's? I'm debating which tire to get.
