is it bad to bounce of the rev limiter?

Wow that was really bad
I just bought a wheel and tire package and was lied to about tread depth
these are completely shot rather than having 40% as indicated
to salvage a ****ty deal i am trying to do rediculous burnouts and get as much smoke as possible out of them
in the process of doign this i find myself bouncing off the rev limiter cause they are bald runflats and very easy to break loose
is it bad to hit the revlimiter for 3 to 4 seconds?

Once you've got the tires spinning, back off the throttle enough to keep the RPMs below the Rev limiter. Don't just keep it floored, feather it. I've feathered the throttle to help maintain control and keep it off the rev limiter. The only limit to how far I could spin the tires was how quickly I wanted to buy new ones!
