How hot do will a tire be after the friction of a burnout?

Question:


Answers:

How much is a typical fine for a traffic violation for not stopping at a blinking red light?

That depends on the duration of the burnout. Most drag racers like to get the tire temp to approx. 20 degrees hotter than the track temp. If the track is 100, they try to get the tire temp up to 120 or so. If you did a very long burnout I'm sure the tire temp would get well over 200 degrees, but tires begin to lose bite after a certain temp, so there's really no reason to do it.

Why do some cars need premium unleaded and others can use the cheapie regular unleaded?

There are too many factors to tell. These include the temperature grade of your tires, the temperature of the pavement, how long the car has been going before burning out, how fast the car was being driving prior to stopping at a redlight and burning out, the length of the burnout, the speed at which the wheels are spinning during burnout, etc.
