dont worry about losing tred on the road, even when you do burnouts. it usually wont cause extreme amounts of damage (tho a tire with 90% tred will take more damage than those with 40%, do to the extension from the tire center)

ususally if the road is wet and you do a burnout it is just slipping, not tearing the tires.

you can take a ruler into the tred in the front tires and compare ot the back, if they are way off then get them rotated, and you'll be fine.
Thanks, man. The tires at the front loses more tread becaue it's FWD and because of all the turning, right? When they're rotated, the front ones are switched with the back ones, correct? So by putting two tires with more tread at the front, the wheels would regain some traction?
