Burnouts? Damaging

On my maxima I have a pair of Kumho Ecsta Supra Tires with ROH reflex rims, I did about 3 burnouts with them on in the rain just messing around.


I just recently switched my rims and tires for the winter and I am noticing that the the front ones are beaten down pretty bad they were around a year old. how come they balded so quickly, was it because of the burnouts?

Is your car lowerd???? did you get a wheel alignment ?? this can also be factors on why your tires got bald so quickly look into that too.

Doint a burnout in the rain, will not cause them to go bald as badly as doing it on dry pavement.
I have kuhmos and after a year they had as much thread as when I bought them.

Burnouts, even in the rain, can harden a tire from the heat. They can wear down, or even cause blistering with cheaper designs.

It depends a lot on the design of the tire and the compound.

Now that isn't possible unless you haven't driven
