Default Cheap smokey tires?

I'm looking for some easily burnt off rubber that I can use for an upcoming burnout contest in my town. Any suggestions? Or should any cheap tire work or do different compounds, ie winter tires, all season, etc... make a difference?

Sumo HTRs. I couldn't get traction with them. Or just find a used tire shop and save yourself $150 and put on anything that fits.

You could always do something like this:



OR




As far as 'cheap', you're not going to find that in a new tire designed to give a smoke show. However, if you do something like this, you're probably going to be the ONLY one with colored smoke!

I figured I would try eBay and this is all I found:

There's a $400 bid in right now (04/09/13 @ 2:11 pm CST), for only 1 tire...so NOT cheap! A $750 buy it now, but definitely has a high COOL factor though!

Wow, colored smoke looks like a hell of a time. Thanks for the suggestions.
