Warming up tires on the street?

[CrazyKell]

In your situation I wouldn't bother unless you want to scrub some dirt off.

Like I said before, it does absolutely nothing to warm your tires up. If you want to do it for "feel" go ahead....but that's not quite the same thing.

Zig zag does nothing, you never really get over far enough to really "dust off" the outside of the tire, but I do it cause it's fun. The best way and the way that makes you look like a huge squid at the gap has been mentioned. Take off really hard and slam the brakes before you go into the first turn. Hard accels and heavy braking warms up the tires quick like already mentioned.

I know he didnt, but having seen some newbies attempt that little manuever, like at the track, and FAIL...better to post a disclaimer! Someone could sue Trip for bad advice on the interwebz...

If you could sue for bad internet advice, we'd all be in the poor house!
