It's definately not the nicest thing for the tires. If you do that, then have some good suspension. If you have weak suspension then the body roll could cause you to go over.

The guy was briefly doing a burnout on his fronts. Also, the fronts sliding sideways isn't the best. Not a terrible thing to do occassionaly, but I wouldn't do it in my car.

WARNING:
To everybody who wants to attempt this... be prepared to buy new set of tires for your back!!!

You've been warned... lol

I did this in my car.. but only a small circle and now my tires in the back have a line where they were draggin so they are not perfectly round. Now when I drive, I hear a very annoying sound from the uneven tires.. but o well.. never doing that again lol

I don't know what you did, but it sounds like you did it wrong. Did you wear through the trays? Or were your tires not centered on them? As long as you don't do either of those, I don't believe it would cause any harm.
