well the tires are coming tomorrow. so i figured i would make a video of me burning off the old tires. the problem is, i cant do a stand still burnout such as car not moving but tires spinning. my brakes are real tight so any suggestions?maybe just wide shots so i can have a go at it? this will be done in a enclosed area not open to public.

Get under your car and stick a screwdriver through the barke adjusting hole on the rear brakes and loosen the heck out of them: when you hit the brakes they will mostly be holding the front and you can do a burnout until they pop. Go ahead, I triple dare you with an insult thrown in.

The smell will be there for awhile. Some company actually sells candles that smell like burning rubber so I guess it's an acquired taste...or scent.... Another method you could use is to suck the brake fluid out of the section of the master cylinder to ruin the back brakes. You do have a dual m.c., don't you? You need to replace that fluid anyway, don't you?

Maybe just suck it up and toss the tires (in a responsible way). Why temp fate and have Murphy show up?
