Do a 2nd gear burnout and right as the smoke starts to POUR out of the tire roll out. There is no need to do a huge burnout with them. I have been 1.4x 60' with them after small burnouts. Great tires.

Yes, same here on the burnout, and they'll last much longer that way. Great street/strip tire. I used 17 lb air pressure

MT radials are the king of street tires

I could never get a good 60ft with my BFG's until they were really worn. My MT radials work the first pass. i love them
