  • Smoking tires

    If someone were to smoke their tires on black top surface, does anyone honestly know if that noticeably wears down the tire tread? I can see how it would be worse to continually spin your tires on gravel/asphalt road..that surface is much more rough. But on blacktop, would it wear down tread if it were done a few times?

      on dirt it's like peeling out on marbles, where on the pavement, it's like doing it on a grinding disk. Black tire marks isn't burnt pavement, it's rubber from your tires

        I don't understand your analogy.

        I know the marks left are from the tires obviously. :rolleyes: It's extremely easy to leave marks on blacktop pavement though. You can spin your tires for 1/2 second and marks will be left. To leave marks on asphalt pavement, you have to spin your tires for 5 seconds at least.

        Blacktop is so smooth...Are you saying it's worse to spin your tires on blacktop than it is on asphalt,,simply based on the marks that are left?

          the smoother the surface, the easier it will be to spin the tires, therefore less coefficient of friction which in turn leads to less tire wear, now if you sit there and do it for a long time, its not gonna make a sh!t...

            Your tires will wear faster on the smoother surface...more surface area...less tire left.

              I would think that the rougher the surface the more it would dig in... sorta like sandpaper.
