Burning the old kumhos
OK, today I did something controversial, it was a private parking lot, no cars or other people around, I know some people on't like it but others will enjoy it (can't please everyone in this world)
I got tires for my car (Michellin Pilot Sports, thank James), so I decided to burn those old ones a little bit, well here is the video and here are some pictures of the tires
Right click and save as I hope it works for you guys. Thanks to vraa for hosting it for me.

Burning and Shredding Alignment
Pocholin,
The burning out - I mean SHREDDING - of your tires is all on one side.
Notice all the shredding occurs to one side and the treads are actually still holding on for dear life, on the other side of the tire.
Now, I am no expert on burnouts, but if I'm going to burn my tires down to the rim I'm going to want to do it evenly.
This is either some law of physics coming out in the form of burnt tires on one side, or maybe you've discovered a new way to test for alignment issues before tire replacement!! Hah!

e55bliss, I used to have camber problems with the car, last service the car got new bushings in the front and the dealer performed a corrective 4 wheel alignment, the tires were already worn more on the insides, on top of that under heavy acceleration the car kind of squats, so even with good alignment I'll be wearing the inners a little faster mainly because I'm most of the time under heavy acceleration, and once again on top of that when I did the burn out I had extra weight in the read, 5 tires in total
