Don't worry about it, I know what you mean, and I know that's the best way to accelerate, it also conserves more gas. The tires don't peel out with a squeal, they just spin, I should have said this earlier h:. I think it has to do with the fact that it's May/June and those damn street sweepers haven't come around here yet, so I'm sliding on the sand. At any rate, the tires are pretty bad, about a week ago, I had a close call, some jackass ran a red light, and I jammed on my brakes, my tires screeched a lot (note: this street did not have any sand on it). Without question, I'll be replacing these tires with those Bridgestones AFTER I use these Michelins to their death. Then maybe burn out to finish them off (haha), or not, who knows.
