e t street break in procedure?

[charmer006]

Just got my purner slick/skinny combo today and want to know is there a certain way to break the slicks in so that they will proform the best and last the longest??

Smoke'em if you got'em! The ET Streets are not too expensive and work much better if they're really heated up. To get the best advantage on the track, I wouldn't worry about making them last a long time.

I think I saw a set of eBay for $1500. Brand new with with wheels. I am sure retail is easily over 2 grand.

I paid $1500 for a slightly used set (wheels and tires). I think new it runs about $2500 (but I'm not 100% sure).

From M/T. please also note: a good smoky burnout is more fun.

17. Q: What kind of burnout is recommended with Mickey Thompson slicks?
A: 1. Automatic transmissions: 1st pass or two, do a fairly hard burnout. After that a light burnout should be sufficient.
2. Standard transmissions: -Stockers- No burnout or short, dry burnout is sufficient. Super Stock or Comp cars- light burnout, haze tires and stage immediately. Generally, tires work better with a light burnout, rather than a hard burnout. This also increases tire life.
Note: ET Street™ tires may require a fairly hard burnout on the 1st and 2nd pass to break in.
