Burned rubber on E55

I just took this picture, this is something you don't see too often on E55s or benzes!

I burned rubber at the water trap on the track, I did it for about 5-7 seconds (I ususally do). And yes, it is always fun!

Here it is, I didn't go for 19s because:
1.- pot holes and horrible freeways and streets in Houston
2.- It required to put new tires, and the tires were new at that time (the 18s)
3.- Much more money for wheels and tires.
4.- didn't want to affect the speedometer reading
