No Pirelli
I purchased brand new Pirelli P zero tires for my M5. I was in a empty parking lot doing some donuts and the tires burst. So now I know not to buy those tires ever again for a M5. They worked so good on my SRT.
Which tire brand should I go with? |

Grip and friction
The higher a tyre's coefficient of friction with the road, the higher its grip, the more effective the tyre is at things like steering, cornering, braking and accelerating.
The higher a tyre's coefficient of friction, the greater the heat generated when its spinning on a rough surface like a car park. The warmer a tyre becomes, the more it tends to grip The more heat that's generated, the higher the air pressure within the tyre and the softer the rubber become. So in terms for tyres best suited for donuts, what you're looking for is a tyre made of really hard rubber, with the lowest grip possible. Last edited by SteveC; 03-13-2017 at 12:57 PM.. |

Generate enough heat and any tyre will burst. The more grip the tyre offers, the quicker it will heat up, so premium tyres are probably the worst for spinning donuts. |

If you just bought them two days ago, see if you can get a replacement under warranty or since it's within the remorse period.

Probably using almost worn out tyres or tyres made of hard rubber with low grip. The fact that both your tyres burst is a good indication that their operational specifications were far exceeded. They possibly burst because they are brand new and therefore offering peak grip. You think donuts are bad for your tyres....you should see what its doing to the plates and fluid in your diff.

Because when I just got the car I had Michellin PSS on em & I did donuts & burnouts. Those tires held up better than the Pirelli and the Michellin wasn't brand new and it didn't shred. |
