    go and talk to your tyre dealer. they can advise the best brand for that all round combination of commuting and burnouts.

    from what i hear the highway maxxis are really grippy and not good for burnouts as they give great traction.

    215/60r15's is a standard size for holdens from memory so should be fine in that aspect

    Depends if you have the power to overcome the traction.


    Oh, by the way, it's "tyre" Captain America, not "tire".

    soft tyres smoke better also but seeing as the car in Question is a VP exec i think not
