Well, first stop wasting your tires doing burnouts.. its a dumb thing to do. Even if racing, "Warming up" street tires does nothing for you.
I would guess the car was moving forward while doing the burnout a bit, dragging your rear tires along and flat spotting them. It should go away after some driving.
but again, stop doing burnouts.

I guess nobody is going to say the obvious. Way to go man, you most likely pulled a flat spot in your rear tire. Sucks for you, because 19" tires aren't cheap. Congratulations.edit: I guess engifineer beat me to it...

Please don't follow Captain's advise. He was just joking around little boys and girls!

lmao ye nice advice ppl, ye i know it was a dumb thing to do, but its my 1st car so i just wanted to do it once or twice, so yea, bad idea on 19's low profiles what can i say, well i found out the problem, you guys were right, flat spot...new tire isnt that much but its still money, $150 for a new tire, i can pull it off now, or wait till it wears in with the rest so that sound goes away, but either way, thanks for your advice ppl, i know im a dumbass but hey....sh*t happanz when you party naked...or in my case on as a noob in a scion rofl :*( lol
