If I see so many ‘hot rod’ tire marks along my road, does that mean those drivers are rapidly shrinking their tires?

I hear the ‘fun’ squealing and imagine the short lives of their tires. But is this true? If so, why not?

A lot of the people who do burnouts and fat skids either a) don’t care, b) use cheap tires so they also don’t care or c) do so when the tires are all ready worn out, so doing so for short periods of time (obviously doing a burnout for a few minutes straight will quickly burn the tire until it’s busted and needs replacing) won’t negatively impact the performance of the tire since it’s already bald, it can’t get any balder, and at this point they probably don’t care about replacing them since the baldness just makes them more slippery and slippery=easier to pop skids and burnouts
