What is your motivation? It is only going to wear things out more, whether it be your tires (obvious) or your brake linings in the rear, or your... The list goes on. There really is no point to doing a brake stand unless you are getting ready to line up at the drag strip.

I can't see any reason for doing one...unless you're trying to show off for some reason. But in reality your just going to break something, then complain cause you broke it lol

I killed the clutch and flywheel in my Silverado, doing this. Now I'm driving my dad's spare 95 Nissan. I would say its a bad idea.

my jimmy did a small one on wet pavement with 30x9.5 baja M/T's.

maybe not a burn out but i can get them to break pretty easy if theres a little bit of sand on the road.
