I bought brand new tires for my Duster... If i were to power brake and burn them off untill one of them pops... Would this ruin my rims? 10x15 predators....

Thanks

I am guessing (hoping) that he means he wants to burn off his old tires before mounting the new ones. Otherwise, if he has that much money to throw around, he can throw some my way :lol:

Inflate them to 80 psi and throw into a brush fire. Your neighbors will love you long time if you do. My father did do this with a truck tire that had peeled the tread off without deflating. When they pop be somewhere else.

If the rims don't hit the pavement after the tire goes, they'll be fine..................


But they may be a bit messy with melted rubber (as well as the wheel wells)


And a shredding tire can cause alot of damage to a wheel well.......
