Yeah, I don't think any of my tires don't have plugs or patches in them now.

you could always be stupid and tie your truck to a tree or strong post (something secure in the ground) and slowly get on the throttle.

of course, i dont think that would be worth getting new tires.

Also, if your 4 banger feels like it dosent have enough power for a burnout......Spray a little bit of tire shine or bleach on the pavement below, or you rear tire(s) directly to get them spinning......then burn em' for a few minutes.....and tell us the results..... :-)

go to a parking lot or something like that and park up to a concrete stop thingy. You will still have to brake so you don't go over it completly but it will help out alot.

That would probably be because the parking brake works only on the REAR brakes. You need to use the pedal, not the parking brake, to do a burnout, and you're still going to be adding excessive wear to your rear brakes while doing it.
