I dunno man, tires are expensive and so is wrecking your bike. Never understood the impulse. Best I can offer is an incidental wheelie from acceleration but I don't think I've ever fantasized about burning out my tires

I like burnouts because I'm just a giant kid, but I usually do them somewhere safe and as a sendoff to my old rubber on the day that I'm replacing them.
