Default smoke show

I finally smoke the tires for the first time and it was great.
As I drove away all that I could see the the two long black strips from my tires coming out from all the white smoke.

Hope you already have a tire fund setup in savings. $1200 give or take, every 8k miles sounds about right.

I must be weird, but I have never done that. I always try to avoid losing traction...which, for me, is very difficult.

Yeah, I'll bet!!

On one occasion I wanted to squeal the tires a little but I must have been
overly ambitious because I left rubber behind! Different types of pavement
and its given condition per location makes this easier to do than others I
would imagine!
