Default Roasting tires

I need new tires soon, so recently, before i left for college, i had been doing burnouts here and there but can usually only get one tire to spin and i have LSD. Is there any special way to get the lsd to kick in? I have been able to get both wheels spinning a few times. I think that was when i powerbraked and very easily and slowly eased on the gas instead of just hammering it. Are there any tricks to get the lsd to kick in?

Thanks

Hose down the pavement before you do your burnouts. Bleach is really slippery, too ... not that I recommend using any.

I usually use 4H on rainy days because, taking off from a stop sign or red light, the *** end wants to get sideways on me as both rears break traction ... and that's on about an inch of pedal.

What I'm saying is ... when you get them both loose on a slippery surface, it can be hard to get it back. Be careful.

The Clutches in your Trac-Loc are probably wearing out. Happens alot, if you want them both to spin all the time you could replace/rebuild your LSD or get a ratchet locker.
