ok so a couple of months ago i was doing dounuts and on about the 3rd or 4th time around chucks of rubber started to fly out from the tires at the time i just dissmised it too the assfalt bein a little too grippy. but the people at the tire store said they had never seen anything like it.

the grip you see is all thats left. ever thing else was down to the wires.....when i started doing the dounuts the tires were basicaly ballld for street us any way.

 

wow...our stock tires really do suck

 

Yep same thing happend to me on the stock RE040. They did great doughnuts though!

 

Holy hell, that's huge. I never realized how crappy our tires are

 

ya

 

Maybe because the rubber compound is very dense and hard it wil take chunks off because of tire hopping perhaps?

 

Has to be the road. I bet small rocks chipped the rubber off.

 

That's messed up!!! What was the temp outside? Were the tires already warmed up?

 

I did one burnout and donuts. My interior filled up with white smoke. A little bit of the rubber fell off. The pavement was not that smooth. Looks like the pavement you did burnouts was rough?Damn my $200 a pop Michelins just lost 10k miles

 

same thing happend to one of my front tires... Had the road hazard warranty and it was taken care of..

I did not however do any do-nuts it just happed b/c of the craptacularness of the stock tires.

 

street tires "chunk" once they start getting hot- doing donuts could push them hard enough to break stuff off

 

the pic in my aviator is actaly the time i did this

 

All tires do this...I should know, I buy a lot. The only way it can be countered is to buy tires with higher treadwear ratings. The downfall to this is that their grip sucks. Basically, you can either pay for more tires or quit doing donuts. Personaly, I bought a spare set of stock wheels and I put used tires on them that I buy for $40-$80 each.

 

looks great btw.

 

ya i think they were wormed up to as good as they could be for the day.. i drove for like an hour before this and did some big doughnuts in second that left pure black behind. then when i did some little ones in first it chunked out. no wheel hop, but the surface was a bit ruff, and the temp of the day was about 60+. the second gear doughnuts left so much smoke that it went from the near by building to over the trees. i know you dont know what the place looks like but it was a lot o smoke ya i got that picture out of a video i did it was great fun, thnx

 

That is normal when doing burnouts and dounuts. Anytime tires get really hot the compounds in the rubber start changing and when they are really hot and soft you can rip huge chunks of rubber off.
