This is probably an old question, but what's the proper burnout procedure for ET Street radials? I couldn't find anything on M/T's FAQ page.

Mine came with instructions stating the FIRST time out do a strong burnout to break the surface coat and get the resins up..... then after that just a light burnout.

I do a few seconds in high gear, then roll out.

Thanks!
Were the instructions on the label of the tire?

No problem! The instructions were on a piece of paper taped to the tires.

well... there's my mistake,i didn't read the entire label.lol

"BURNOUTS- FOR MOST APPLICATIONS
The length of your burnout will be dictated primarily by the ambient and track conditions. The hotter the temperatures, the shorter the burnout. When the temps get cool, a longer burnout will be necessary. Ideally you want the tire temp to be within 15 degrees of the track temperature on the launch. When the track temps exceed 120 degrees, it is always best to keep your tire temps on the lower side. Here are some additional tips for maximizing the performance of your M/T racing tires.

1. First pass of the day will be your longest. After that follow the guidelines of #2 and #3 stated below.
2. Automatic transmissions and Bias tires with Softer compounds: First pass or two, fairly hard burnout relative to ambient conditions. After that a light burnout should be sufficient.
3. Standard transmission and Radial tires: Typically shorter burnouts are better. A light burnout, enough to haze the tires, then stage immediately.
4. No dry hops. This does nothing to improve traction, and in some cases can have a negative effect."

Well i'm sold on the M/Ts! The 275s hook as well as my 28 x 11.5 Hoosier QTPs,with less burnout. Second best pass ever & best pass ever on drag radials, i use to run BFG drag radials.

Good to hear! I like them too.
